title: strikethrough code in markdown on github
body: <p>I am talking about <strong>github markdown</strong> here, for files like <code>README.md</code>.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question:</strong>
  Is it possible to strikethrough a complete code block in markdown on github?</p>
  
  <p>I know how to mark text as a block of code</p>
  
  <pre><code>this is
  multiline code
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>and
  this
  </code></p>
  
  <p><code>this</code></p>
  
  <p><code>also</code></p>
  
  <p>by indenting by 4 spaces or by using ``` or `...</p>
  
  <p>I also know how to <s>strike through texts</s> using</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>del tag</li>
  <li>s tag</li>
  <li>~~</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Temporary solution</strong>:</p>
  
  <p>Independently they work fine, but together not as expected or desired. I tried several combinations of the above mentioned.</p>
  
  <p>For now, I use this:  </p>
  
  <p><s><code>striked</code></s></p>
  
  <p><s><code>through</code></s></p>
  
  <p>by using ~~ and ` for every single line.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Requirement</strong>:</p>
  
  <p>I would like to have a code formatted text striked through, where the code block is continuous:</p>
  
  <pre><code>unfortunately, this is
  not striked through
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or at least with only a small paragraph in between:</p>
  
  <p><code>unfortunately, also not
  striked through
  </code></p>
  
  <p>Is this possible at all?</p>
  
  <p>I found some old posts and hints on using jekyll, but what I was searching for is a simple way, preferably in markdown.</p>
