+> [!CAUTION]
 > By default, this library preserves HTML tags without Markdown equivalents, like `<span>`, `<div>`, `<iframe>`, `<script>`, etc. If you will be parsing untrusted input from users, **please consider setting the `strip_tags` and/or `remove_nodes` options** documented below, and also using a library (like [HTML Purifier](https://github.com/ezyang/htmlpurifier)) to provide additional HTML filtering.
 
 To strip HTML tags that don't have a Markdown equivalent while preserving the content inside them, set `strip_tags` to true, like this:

 ```
 
+### Strikethrough support
+
+Support for Markdown strikethrough is not enabled by default, because it is not part of the original Markdown syntax. To use strikethrough add the converter explicitly:
+
+```php
+use League\HTMLToMarkdown\HtmlConverter;
+use League\HTMLToMarkdown\Converter\StrikethroughConverter;
+
+$converter = new HtmlConverter();
+$converter->getEnvironment()->addConverter(new StrikethroughConverter());
+
+$html = "<del>Some Text</del> <strike>Some Text2<strike>";
+$markdown = $converter->convert($html);
+```
+
 ### Limitations
 
 - Markdown Extra, MultiMarkdown and other variants aren't supported – just Markdown.
