Add strikethrough as text rendering option

[WaxCylinderRevival]

Request @joewiz to investigate whether we need to add anything to stylesheets or tagsDecl for proper web rendering of strikethrough phrases

Thank you!

@WaxCylinderRevival @KerryHite For strikethroughs we use <del rend="strikethrough">. For an example of usage in FRUS, see https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1955-57v17/d255. For the TEI definition of the <del> element, see https://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-del.html. For discussion about it and related elements, https://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/CO.html#COEDADD.

Does <del> as described here work for the cases before you?

Hi, @joewiz! Thank you for directing us to del. At our meeting today, @KerryHite and I agreed that the intent of the different strikes in the volume in question could be accurately represent by del.

EXAMPLE
We received this submission:
<item>word1 word2 <hi rend="strike">PHRASE</hi> word3 word4 PHRASE word5</item>

which we will direct to be corrected as:
<item>word1 word2 <del rend="strikethrough">PHRASE</hi> and word3 word4 PHRASE word5</item>

Questions for @joewiz :

• Since the examples on https://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-del.html and https://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/CO.html#COEDADD offer @rend values of "overstrike" and "overtype" rather than "strikethrough," could we add documentation in the FRUS schema to accept "strikethrough" as an acceptable del/@rend value?
• If you agree that adding to the documentation would be helpful, would you like @WaxCylinderRevival to submit the additions in a pull request or would you like the Digital Initiatives team to do it?
  • I ran an XPath search over our frus repository in oXygenXML and found in 10,000+ instances of del, the only @rend value we've used so far appears to be strikethrough, but we may encounter other forms such as overstrike or overtype in the future. We could certainly define one, three, or more values in anticipation of their appearance.

Thank you again for your help!

Hi, @joewiz,

Re-upping the questions in #305 (comment), in case they were buried in the email of our lives. ;-)

Thank you!
