Hi, is this plugin still a broken plugin?
I [found this in GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/abbreviation-discourse-plugin) and I guess this plugin is maintain by Discourse as an official plugin.
Thanks

[Discourse Footnote](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-footnote/84533) is officially supported

I’d like to echo @iidbae’s question. @sam’s answer is not really an answer. “Discourse footnote” solves a different problem to what this plugin is/was handling.

It solves a similar problem.
Porting [Auto-Linkify Words](https://meta.discourse.org/t/linkify-words-in-post/82193) to act like this plugin should be fairly trivial. I recommend someone gives it a shot.

I gave it a shot and made this:
> **[GitHub - metabrainz/discourse-abbrify-words: Discourse theme component for automatically adding...](https://github.com/metabrainz/discourse-abbrify-words)**
>
> Discourse theme component for automatically adding \ to abbreviations and acronyms
It is currently running on the MetaBrainz Discourse installation:
> **[MetaBrainz Community Discourse](https://community.metabrainz.org/)**
>
> \*Brainz community discussions galore!
I’d post about it in #Customization > Theme but @sam needs to grant me privileges first. 🙂
