Is there a list of active Discourse plugins?

I’ve seen some people use footnotes[1] in their forum posts. I wanted to know how to do it so I searched for “Discourse footnote” and found an official plugin. Now I’m left wondering if it is installed and active on the Typst forum which leads me to this question.

Is there somewhere here on the forum where all plugins are listed? Maybe there’s a Discourse feature that does this already?

How to add footnotes

In your text write this:

Start of sentence^[Footnote text] rest of the sentence.

I don’t know about the list of active plugins, but note that this is just the syntax for Markdown footnotes… In general I just try Markdown things and see if they work.

I didn’t know Markdown supported footnotes, thanks. I’ll have to check a cheatsheet to see what else might work here.

It doesn’t support that. Daring Fireball: Markdown Syntax Documentation

But some websites do. For instance, a wild example is that Mermaid is directly supported on GitHub and GitLab.

What’s annoying is that you can’t just see a list of stuff supported. GitHub Flavored Markdown Spec doesn’t show footnote support or Mermaid. But GitLab Flavored Markdown (GLFM) | GitLab Docs, however, does.
