    Hi Jürgen,
    Sorry to bother you again, but I noticed that strikethrough (crossed out) text isn’t being displayed as such. I don’t think it’s theme-dependent. Any ideas?

    Regards,

    Sorry, my fault 🙂
    I’ll take a look.

    Hm, it’s working if i try it.
    But maybe special font’s don’t have this feature!?

    I’ve tried a lot of fonts, but all seem to work.
    You can click with the right mouse button on the text that isn’t working, then “Inspect”
    You normally then see the styles that are applied.
    Mine is saying:
    text user agent styleeesheet text-decoration: line-through
    If this isn’t active you may see what’s causing this.

    Indeed, ‘Inspect’ doesn’t show line-through as decoration, but I can’t figure out why.
    Underlined text works, but bold text doesn’t.
    I get the same results in other themes.
    Strange, if I create a random post with underlined text, it does display.
    So I have no idea.

    Could it perhaps be a font issue?

    Yes, bold won’t work. Only one font is installed for the quote text. That’s in a way the principle of this plugin.
    You have just a short snipped of text, without any styling. Then choose a font.
    Like:
    Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

    You choose a font, whatever it may be, bold, italic, slim, thick… But that’s it. This font is applied to the quote text.
    Many google fonts, especially the handwritten fonts, come with only one thickness… “normal” 400

    Bold would usually be 700.
    If you really need a bold in a quote you have to install this fonts per wordpress. Since version 6.7, i think, wordpress comes with a font installer. Install the missing fonts there, then it should work.

    Say you want Open Sans in normal bold, normal italic, bold italic, just install those 4 fonts. 400, 700, 400 italic, 700 italic.

    Hope that helps.
