For "grep", that's just the terminal. Otherwise overstriked text cannot be
found with a normal regexp. On the contrary, "less" has special support
for overstriked text.
> I'm not sure what the historical background of having it formatted this
way was, or what tool is generating the text under the hood. There might
be a newer tool that would allow formatting it neatly and avoid the
overstriking, which I agree isn't very common now.
I suppose that users who want something better than plain text could use
lynx (or any other browser / HTML renderer) directly.
