Strikethrough content while saving a content

Question

Hello,

Please refer to the screenshot below. This is a screenshot taken from slack (a communication channel that reflects all messages saved in jira). While on jira the content looks ok, but on slack some content seems to have a strikethrough. Need to know why.

Actually that's not true. In Jira you may use dashes with the both sides of the text: -this is the text-. The key is that there is no space between the characters and the dashes.

If you enter something like this "this text - shouldn't - be strikethrough", Jira does not mark it, because of the spaces. The issue is that Slack does it, and you will see "this text shouldn't be strikethrough" in the Slack channel.

Hi Sanjana_Fernandes,

In your content on Jira, this message contain ~ before and end of that Strikethrough message.

For example:

~just a gentle reminder again~ to enclose screen..... --> this is the actual text in Jira, right ?

Whenever Slack see this ~, slack will do Strikethrough. This feature is called as "Message Markup" by slack.
