How Do You Line Out a Word?

I see members lining out a word, to replace it in an intended joke. I can't figure this out
How is it done?

Thank you!

Ha

the strike-through button is not available on the Quick Reply, so you can always use
[ -] and [ /-] as delimiters for your text. I had to add a space after [ for it to show up, but you need to omit the space when you use it.
[ -] This is struck-through [ /-]
This is struck-through

It's right thar in front of your nose. If it were a snake it would bite you !

Do I hafta splain' it to ya.

OK. I'll carefully describe this procedure so that you can easily use that feature !

The ABC button is between the [PHP] (Hypertext preprosessor) tag post button and the [Table] post button in the text editor mode when you reply to a post.

You may need to hit the retarded advanced mode button first.
