The HTML <del> tag is used to indicate text that has been deleted from a document.
- It visually represents this deletion by striking through the text, which helps in tracking changes or revisions in documents.
- It provides semantic meaning for content that has been intentionally removed, such as in editing or version control scenarios.
Syntax:
<del attr="values"> Contents... </del>
- cite: The cite is used to specify the URL of the document or message which denotes the reason for deleting the text.
- datetime: The datetime is used to specify the date and time of the deleted text.
Example: <del> tag with datetime attribute
Note: The datetime attribute is semantic metadata only and does not affect the visual appearance unless explicitly rendered using CSS or JavaScript.
