The <del tag isn't displaying

  • Hello,
    I have a list item that I wanted to use the <del tag on to show it will be deleted. I’ve selected it from the top of the Write Page tools and it works correctly in the code (surrounds the line with del and /del and ads the date and time) but there is no line drawn through the text when it is viewed in the page. I checked several browsers and it was the same in them all. I wrote a post to the Fix WordPress forum and got an answer back that it is because the theme doesn’t style it.

    I checked the Aaron style sheet and it is one of the ones you reset but all the rest work for me as expected. (Some of them I have added styles for in my child theme.) What styling do I need to add to get the line drawn through the text?

    The line is on https://wdcb.stcwdc.org/faq/faqs/writing-and-editing/ under the subheading for Dialogue and Prose Generators (the last bullet for for Lorem Ipsum).

    The code is:
    <del datetime="2020-06-03T15:17:53+00:00"><li><a href="https://generator.lorem-ipsum.info/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lorem Ipsum</a> is a plugin by Emmet, a toolkit for web-developers. It can generate filler text in different languages: Esperanto, German, Old English, Icelandic, Morse Code, Spanish, etc. <em>(May be temporarily offline. Keeping it here in case it returns because of the unique languages it can do. 3jun20)</em> &nbsp;<span class="updated_link">Updated</span></li></del>

    Thanks for your help.
