well strike though marks does not always mean ‘deleting’.

It’s sometimes used as an ironic notion. E.g. CAT: “I seriously love my ~~slave~~ human”

Also I’ll show `<del>` as a red box with `---` on each side. While for `<s>` I would show it as a standard strikethought. (Which shows that presentation between the two tags is not always treated the same)
