Strikethrough Text in a Merea-Frameowrk Site?

Question

Strikethrough doesn't work for me in a morea framework markdown page, e.g.,

~~Strikethrough~~

is presented with the raw tildes.

I see here that this was already fixed in kramdown (the markdown engine used in morea). Should I update kramdown? how then? other ideas? Thanks.

After updating Jekyll and Kramdown to their latest releases, strikethrough works. Here's an example Morea site illustrating strikethrough:

http://morea-framework.github.io/morea-news-page-example/

The home.md page source is here:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/morea-framework/morea-news-page-example/master/src/morea/morea/home.md

To make this work correctly I updated gem, jekyll, and kramdown:

% sudo gem update --system

Maybe you only need to update kramdown, but this seemed like a good opportunity to update Jekyll as well.
