I played with him in jsFiddle . It seems that the only way to do this is to wrap the other content in which you want to include line-through in another element, like a span .
Update: code from jsFiddle, upon request:
<table> <tr class="table-item"> <td><span>Text</span></td> <td><a href="#">Delete item</a></td> </tr> </table>
CSS
.table-item td span { text-decoration: line-through; }
