@benword a quick note that we’re in the process of adding this plugin’s functionality to core. Here is the first PR:

> This PR adds support for forums to respond with rich markdown to requests on topic lists (latest, new, categories, tags) and topic views. This is better for LLMs, more efficient than HTML but with better quality content than the existing \`.raw\` output. Images, lists, tables, formatting is respected properly compared to \`.raw\`.

Initially, this feature in core will be behind a hidden site setting while we test it. But soon enough, it will be default enabled (admins can disable the feature if they wish).
I have not tested this branch with the plugin side-by-side, I suspect the plugin won’t be needed once this lands in core though.
