Strikethrough (both single and double).

existing style attributes and make this text plain (the attributes set in the New File preferences…
your Nisus New File)!”
Remove style attributes from text

2. Choose the menu command Format > Remove Attributes and Styles.

your Nisus New File in the New File preferences.
