# Syntax 

The syntax of `del` tag is as follows:

```HTML
<del> Strike off text </del>
```

We begin by opening the tags using the `<>` symbol. In between, we write `del`. We then close the tags using the `</>` symbol. Once again, we will place the name of our tag in-between `<>` and after the `/` symbol. Any text in between will be marked as deleted.

# Example

The code snippet below shows how we can use the `del` tag in HTML:

<html>
 <head>
 </head>
 <body>
  <h4> SALE SALE SALE </h4>
  <p> The old price is: <del> $100 </del> </p>
  <p> The new price is: $70
 </body>
</html>
