Changes to Content

< ins>
< del>

The < ins> element can be used to show content that has been inserted into a document, while the < del> element can show text that has been deleted from it.
The content of a < ins> element is usually underlined, while the content of a < del> element usually has a line through it.

Example

HTML	Result
< p> It was the < del>worst< /del> < ins>best< /ins> idea she had ever had. < /p>	It was the ~~worst~~ best idea she had ever had.

< s>

The < s> element indicates something that is no longer accurate or relevant (but that should not be deleted).
Visually the content of an < s> element will usually be displayed with a line through the center.
Older versions of HTML had a < u> element for content that was underlined, but this is being phased out.

Example
