Strike through in HTML from TLF

I have a TLF TextArea with a strikethrough button.

I need to get the formatted text to another external file such as HTML or DOC.

I can write the files fine.

The problem is when I use  TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT  to get the HTML formatted text, it does Not retain the strikethroughs.

I can see the strikethoughs using TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT   but what good is that outside of reading it in an ActionScript project.

Is there a way to either process the TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT   into HTML and preserve the strikes?

Or retain the strikes using TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT     somehow?
