Strikethrough WITHOUT completing

Hi,

I am looking for an option to strikethrough a task to signify that a change has been made to a task, but not have it disappear, as it does when you 'complete' a task. You would still be able to see that item, but it would have a line through it and would be able to see it until you click 'complete'. For example, if I am completing a multi-step task, I would like to strikethrough things as I go, but not 'complete' the task until all items are complete.

 

Thank for your help.

  I see where you're going with the strike through. But I think it would get really hard to read ok the screen. And I do something similar in my process. Instead of strike through I just make separate bullets

  - Done
  - - item
  - - item
  - Not Done
  - - item
  - - item

  And I move things up, conveyor belt style, to the bullet above to "strike through" mark as done but the overall isn't completed.

  Maybe give this kind of system a try?

  I think this is a difficult one to implement, since strike-through is already in use for completed items. You can accomplish this with a tiny snippet of CSS and an extension like Stylus.  This CSS will convert WorkFlowy's underline feature (Ctrl+U) to strike-through.  Only works in the browser. 
  
  

  .content u {
    text-decoration: line-through !important;
  }

  Thanks, Keith and rawbytz. 

  rawbytz, that's a nifty trick. I might try that when in the browser. Otherwise, I may try Keith's method until Workflowy comes up with some way to view partially completed tasks with several steps.

  I wrote a Tampermonkey script to do this. It is triggered by the tag "#st". So any item with a #st tag in it will be rendered as strikethrough. I made a hotkey Alt+- (That's Alt Minus) since I thought the minus sort of represented strikethrough. The hotkey toggles the state. That is, it adds or removes the #st tag from the current item.

  I tested with Tampermonkey on Windows Chrome, Firefox, and Android Firefox. So it works on mobile too.

  Hi Michael,

  Thank you for that script. I'm sure others will be using that script as a model for other dynamics!
