These forums support HTML and BBCode tags (or at least a fair bit of them) for text formatting.

You can find more HTML and BBCode functions here (first and second column shows the tags you use, third column shows the example output): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode

The BBCode for strikethrough is [s]text[/s]. In case you’re a fan of BBCode like me. :3

it’s more reliable to use html however as BBcode can update sometimes which can break your messages.
This happened with the trello bot at somepoint however now it uses HTML so it shouldn’t happen again for the bot unless discourse removes html support in forum posts.
