Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Define document type as HTML5 -->
<html><!-- Start of HTML document -->
<head><!-- Start of head section -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Define character encoding -->
<title>How to define text that is 
no longer correct</title><!-- Title of the document -->
</head><!-- End of head section -->
<body><!-- Start of body section -->
<p><s>Present version of HTML is HTML 
4.01.
</s></p><!-- Define a paragraph with text marked as no longer correct -->
<p>Next version of HTML is HTML 5</p><!-- Define a paragraph with updated information -->
</body><!-- End of body section -->
</html><!-- End of HTML document -->

Explanation:

This HTML code demonstrates how to define text that is no longer correct using the <s> element.
Inside a <p> (paragraph) element, text indicating the present version of HTML is included within the <s> element, which denotes that the text is no longer accurate.
The <s> element is used to represent content that is no longer correct or relevant.
The text "Present version of HTML is HTML 4.01." is marked as no longer correct using the <s> element.
Another <p> element contains updated information, indicating that the next version of HTML is HTML 5.
The <s> element is commonly used in cases where content needs to be struck through to indicate that it is outdated or incorrect.
