Trying not to ruin what I edit

[symbolipoint]

This is for practice hope learn how to do an edit without ruining what I wrote.

Here line plain clear
Here line make scratch-through

Back to clear?

Next, I try to remove the strike-through ONLY on the word, "make".
I try like this:
highlight "make" with the strike-through done;
open three-dot menu;
click the strike-though tool.
That SEEMS to work.

Looks fine to me. What was the issue?

Not sure yet. I believe I missed seeing the "S" with the slash-through tool in the three-dots toolbar menu, and instead clicked on the horizontal line tool. I will continue rechecking.

You can always switch to the BBCODE editor for any fine tuning. Thats what I do, especially when nesting quotes.

The only way I ever edit.

The S with a slash through it is the "strike" tool, as in striking out something. What you're calling the horizontal line tool is the U symbol, for "underline." Both are available after clicking the 3 vertical dots icon in the BBCode menu.
