A lovely day as we pass through Berwick on our way to Dundee.

No, still not striking through 😤🤔

Feeling a bit better and just wanted to wish Grandmachrisy, a lovely break. I have a hankering for going over the Tay bridge by train.

Thanks Taichinan I'm trying it now.

Marydoll Mon 23-Oct-23 12:49:56

It’s never worked for me! Are you using a pc or a laptop, rather than a mobile phone or iPad?

Marydoll Mon 23-Oct-23 13:06:56

Lucy Anna please look at the photo I posted. No spaces between the hyphens.

Marydoll Mon 23-Oct-23 13:08:29

Marydoll Mon 23-Oct-23 13:09:00

It works for all devices.

RosiesMaw Mon 23-Oct-23 13:12:19

On my phone, yes, (mobile site) on my iPad , (desktop site) no.
Its annoying —but I don’t lose sleep over it— )

No spaces between the hyphens. -- not - -
It works on my phone, tablet and PC.

RosesandLilac Mon 23-Oct-23 14:15:58

My mini iPad reverts to a dash if I try typing two hyphens 😡

This is tickling my brain, I do like an IT puzzle. There must be a way around it or ditch the iPad.🤣

Litterpicker Mon 23-Oct-23 14:42:51

I’ll try it on my iPad.

Litterpicker Mon 23-Oct-23 14:43:32

No!

Marydoll Mon 23-Oct-23 14:50:07

I found this. this.
Highlight the word, use the keystrokes
option-command-V

It means nothing to me, but might to those with an iPad.

Yes, this is exactly it. It’s as maddening as autocorrect!

I just resorted to copy and paste grin

hello

Blossoming Mon 23-Oct-23 15:29:56

I posted earlier but unfortunately I posted in the wrong thread 😂

Blossoming Mon 23-Oct-23 15:53:52

—hello—

hello

Doesn’t work on either mobile or desktop site, only when copy and pasted! I’m pretty sure it’s a “feature” (as we developers like to say 😂) of the iPad and if I manage to figure it out I’ll let you know!
