I looked at almost 100 #plugin for something that is non-moderated and is for text, like footnotes but I couldn’t find anything!

Could you please elaborate on the effect you are trying to achieve and where?

On a forum, I want to have special effects in text, like footnotes.

You don’t need any additional software.
Discourse supports Markdown, and you can do:
This is a footnote[^1], I hope you like it!
[^1]: This is the first footnote.
In a Post.
Which gives:

I don’t want additional software. I already know footnotes. I want something similar to footnotes. Like commands you can do like < big > < small > < ins > < del >
similar commands like those.

You can also install the BBCode Plugin for some additional effects.

Is it okay if I test some of the Markdown Cheat Sheet options here to see what they look like?

Yes, they gave me this.
I need to highlight these ==very important words==.
It doesn’t highlight anything.

Robert:
Most of these work:
Yeah, highlight is one of the few effects that isn’t supported.
Try BBCode and see if that suffices.
There’s also my Theme Component, but it’s “not standard”:
“BBCode-lite” without the need to install a plugin …
Adds a simple control (palette icon) to the Composer to facilitate colouring of the foreground and background of text
[image]
Select a word or text
Hit the palette control
It will be wrapped like so: [wrap=color color=# bgcolor=#]word[/wrap]
Replace the #s with html-compatible colour names, e.g. “red”, “grey” … experiment.
NB Same caveats apply as to BBCode: can be used to hide text.

Subscript and Superscript don’t work as well?
