Cancel/strike out a checklist item in GitLab

Question

In GitLab issues, you can implement interactive checklists in markdown by utilizing square brackets:

Checklist:

  * [x] ToDo one
  * [ ] ToDo two

You can check items by clicking on them or by inserting an x into the square brackets in markdown. Is there a way to cancel an item? In other words, to mark an item as will not be done instead of leaving it as TODO?

Answer 1

I believe what you want is the strikethrough formatting, which uses double-tildes ~~ around the text you want to strike through.
