Is it possible to strike text through in Restructured Text?

Something that for example renders as a <strike> tag when converted to HTML, like: ~~ReSTructuredText~~

Answer

I checked the docs better, as suggested by Ville Säävuori, and I decided to add the strikethrough like this:

.. role:: strike
    :class: strike

In the document, this can be applied as follows:

:strike:`This text is crossed out`

Then in my css file I have an entry:

.strike {
  text-decoration: line-through;
}
