markdown do not support Strikethrough ?

[David Chambers]

<s> and <strike> have been deprecated since HTML 4.01. What HTML would you
expect Markdown to generate? Something like…

    <p><span class="strike">This is wrong.</span> This is right.</p>

or…

    <p><del>This is wrong.</del> This is right.</p>

But the above should really make use of <ins> as well…

    <p><del>This is wrong.</del> <ins>This is right.</ins></p>

This is well and truly beyond the scope of Markdown. Don't forget that HTML
is a subset of Markdown, so any time you want to do something without
corresponding Markdown syntax you can simply use HTML. So, you could have
something like this…

    * first list item
    * second list item
    * <del>fifth</del> <ins>third</ins> list item

which'd convert to…

    <ul>
    <li>first list item</li>
    <li>second list item</li>
    <li><del>fifth</del> <ins>third</ins> list item</li>
    </ul>
