In [Whitelisting HTML tags / attributes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/whitelisting-html-tags-attributes/159653) Joffrey links to [https://github.com/discourse/discourse-policy/blob/main/assets/javascripts/lib/discourse-markdown/policy.js.es6#L43](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-policy/blob/main/assets/javascripts/lib/discourse-markdown/policy.js.es6#L43) for a way to whitelist given HTML tags/attributes, but I do not see any `policy` options in settings for this.

Is this no longer a thing? Or maybe I’m misunderstanding how that code works? Is it something I need to make a plugin (or theme component?) to hook into?

Yes you need to write a plugin to allow additional elements.
