Is there anyway I can have text with strikethrough style in notepad++? I use notepad++ for my to-do lists, and being able to assign strikethrough to the highlighted text (especially if it could be on a keyboard shortcut) would be very useful.
[edit] Just to clarify - I realise that strikethrough is formatted text, and not that of a text editor. My query was more if there was something (a plugin maybe) that did some kind of markup which it rendered as strikethrough. I'm guessing not, but worth asking.

I'm also seeking a solution for this problem (using Strikethrough for a to-do list). I couldn't find a plugin and I think creating one would be the best way to go.
As a work-around until that happens, what I'm doing is setting the language of my to-do list (a .txt file) to the "Properties" language. Then, when I'm done with that task, I put a '#' in front of it to make a comment (which color-codes the line as green and you can customize the color). Not as good as a strike-through but it gets the job done.
3You could right click on the line and use one of the marking styles (Using 1st Style, etc.). That won't do strikethrough, but it will highlight the line in a background you can choose by selecting which style and configure the styles in Settings > Style Configurator.
If you don't have option to strikethrough your style, you can set style to use some strikethroug font. This should be easy to find and download.
Notepad++ has LED markers for each line, basically a blue light that you can turn off and on (click on the grey bar to the left of your text and immediately to the right of the line number)
Use this to indicate when a job is done perhaps?
1I searched for what you need (and I need too) but with no luck. But I figured something else. You can use Gui4Cli as a language in the Notepad++. You can choose it from the language menu.
This will leave the text as it is in the normal text format, but you will be able to use // and /* */ to comment the finished tasks and mark them as green.
I didn't find strike through feature within notepad++ plugins.But I press CTRL+T which makes the line go up and then I select all the lines together, right click and select some style which separate the specific lines from other. This is useful for a list of work and divide it in done and undone work lists.
I know this is like a year+ later, but there is a feature in Notepad++ to "Hide Lines" just highlight and right click. Then at the bottom of the menu, there is a Hide Lines feature which Hides a specified line and then can be clicked to be reopened. Also, On the left side next to the line number you can click on the line number and it will put a blue circle which can act as a checkbox.
I don't have a programmatical way (yet) but this webpage has a way to generate strikethrough text that can be copied and pasted into UTF-8 notepad etc.
To do Strikethrough in a notepad,highlight particular text that you want to strikethrough, then press "CTRL" & "T" :-)
