Strikethrough text in VK is a feature with which users attract the attention of subscribers and friends to their posts. It is impossible to format the inscription in this way using standard social network editing tools. Therefore, for this you will have to use code or the help of third-party services and sites. In this article we will look at how to cross out text in all possible ways.
Using code
Please note that before updating the site design, a code without 0 was used; today this option does not work. And here is the code itself: ̶. MUST be used with ; at the end.
Here are instructions demonstrating how to cross out text in VK using the most commonly used method - using a special code that is inserted before each letter in the phrase. It is inserted without spaces, along with a final semicolon, before each word character. You can edit a phrase directly on the social network, in the input field, as well as in a regular Word document.
- Start typing with the code, then the first letter, again the code and the second letter, etc.
- There is no need to insert the code before the space in the sentence;
- When you're done typing, simply click the Enter key.
Strikethrough text on VKontakte is a cool tool that allows you to draw attention to your page. With its help, you can compose a witty phrase, create a humorous status, and give the expression a deeper meaning. This is a kind of response to writing empty messages to a friend. And if you consider that some users manage to insert prohibited words into phrases, by the way, sometimes it’s very appropriate.
By the way, in addition to visual settings for displaying text, you can also reduce or enlarge the page scale or change the settings language.
Websites and online generators
If you need to strike out one word, then inserting the code manually is not difficult. But what if you need to cross out an entire sentence? It's very easy to get confused here. To use the crossed out text on VKontakte, you can turn to a special online generator that helps you write the code automatically.
Using the example of one of the most popular services, let’s look at how it works:
- Several windows are displayed on the site page. In the top field, write the phrase you want to cross out.
- In the second window it will be automatically generated along with the above code.
- Copy the resulting result via the context menu or the Ctrl + C key combination.
- Paste the text into the desired location on the social network.
In window number 3 you can see what the written and crossed out text on VKontakte online will look like after formatting.
It should be noted that the methods are suitable not only for the full version of the site, but also for mobile devices. It doesn’t matter whether it’s an official client or a simplified version in a browser on a smartphone. Online generators are also available through mobile browsers. The code ̶ is active when writing posts, messages and comments via a phone or tablet. Just don’t forget that you need to copy-paste it before each letter. If the dash needs to be extended beyond the last letter, then you can also put a code at the end.
Now you know how to write strikethrough text on VKontakte quickly and easily. If you need to cross out one or two words, then the option of manually inserting a special year is quite suitable. To save time, you can use an online generator. Access to it is free, and you don’t need to do anything else other than copy the result and paste it into a post or message on a social network.
Using special sites
