For the rule-making page, some CSS styles for communicating legal revisions are needed. These features are supported in CSS, but not supported in WordPress, which is stripping out span tags on body content. Need to find a solution that will persist in WordPress.

<span style="text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-style: double;"><strong> bold, double underlined</strong></span>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<span style="text-decoration-line: line-through; text-decoration-style: double;"><strong>bold, double strikethrough</strong></span> type font.</span>

For whatever it's worth, there are some custom rich-text formats in the Drought blocks [Example 1] [Example 2].

Update:

The double underline and double strikethrough have some issues of clarity as well as accessibility concerns. A semantic markup approach would be better.

CAWeb publishing team is checking on accessibility recommendations for this format & precedents from other work.

Resolution: We will continue to keep this as span text.
We have spoken with DCC legal team and given feedback about how this isn't a common technical practice and it's not fully supported in a number of software and devices. They have a use that includes a lot of printed pages.

There is no more work to do here for now, so closing.
