Description

w:dStrike draws two parallel horizontal lines through the centre of the run’s text glyphs. It is an on/off toggle property defined in ECMA-376 Part 1 §17.3.2.9.

Double strikethrough is a typographic convention used in some legal and financial documents. The single-line variant is w:strike. Both properties can coexist on the same run.
