Strikethrough not visible next to items in Rustdoc module summary

[Tamschi]

There seems to be a formatting inconsistency between item pages and what's rendered next to the item's identifier on the module pages.

---

I tried this code:

/// ~~Test~~
pub fn test() {}

I expected to see this happen:
"Test" should also be rendered with strikethrough when viewed on the module page of the documentation, next to the item name.

Instead, this happened:
The text isn't strikethrough there, but is rendered strikethrough on the page of the item itself. Essentially, the surrounding <del> element is missing on the module page.

I'm using meaningful strikethrough formatting here (with non-strikethrough meaning the opposite), so it would be nice to see this fixed.

As an aside, the recommended element for rendering general (non-deletion) strikethrough text seems to be <s>, not <del>.
Maybe I should use a different method entirely though, as screen reader announcement is apparently not a given for either.

@Tamschi As a temporary workaround you can use HTML syntax

<del>`Mut`</del> `Predicate`s

I don’t fully understand your notation but in case it’s desired, you could also get rid of the space this way

<del>`Mut`</del>`Predicate`s

or even combine both code items into a single one

<code><del>Mut</del>Predicate</code>s

I can no longer reproduce this, the strikethrough does get rendered on the module page, too. Closing as completed.

Ah, this was fixed in #111824.
