Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 204401

<p><del>deleted text</del></p>

works as expected, while

<del><p>deleted text</p></del>

doesn't (text isn't shown strike-through). Note that this seems to be a major
problem because readers may perceive deleted text as not deleted (or even
highlighted when there's also a special color used for del tags, such as red).

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2

[Julian Reschke]

(the URL points to a more complex test case, the attached testcase is meant to
provide a minimal repro example).

Comment 3

[José Jeria]

Isn't that invalid HTML? A block element inside an inline element.

Comment 4

[Julian Reschke]

It isn't an inline-only element. See
