And how do you strikeout your comment?

That's the "retract" button.

There's supposed to be some way to do so partially, if anyone knows what it is.

This <del> should </del> work in Markdown, but it seems broken :(

Edit: t̶e̶s̶t̶ Thanks, Vincent, it works!

I never found a way to do it using LW's implementation of Markdown, but I have successfully used this Unicode strikethrough tool before (a̶n̶ ̶e̶x̶a̶m̶p̶l̶e̶).

Note that this makes the struck-through text very difficult to search.

If LW's markdown is like reddit's, double tilde before and after will strike through text. ~~Let's see if that works~~

Edit: It doesn't. Does anyone know how I would go about fixing this?

Edit2: The issue tracker suggests it's been fixed, <del>but it doesn't seem to be</del>.

I haven't looked into this but the wording of comment 3 on that issue tracker page makes me think it's talking about posts as opposed to comments.
