Continuing the discussion from [Markdown-it is very powerful with its pulgin, how to achieve these on discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/markdown-it-is-very-powerful-with-its-pulgin-how-to-achieve-these-on-discourse/74457):

I see per that older topic that markdown-it features outside of commonmark “will not be included”, but there’s no way to add them via the separate markdown-it plugins?

They really would be useful. It’s almost tragic (especially for the goal of commonmark adoption) that commonmark doesn’t include _any_ support for footnotes (I know that Discourse “more details” is a workaround, but it’s not the same).

Am I understanding right that the way markdown-it is incorporated into Discourse, the [plugins](https://www.npmjs.com/browse/keyword/markdown-it-plugin) would have to be added at some higher level and so aren’t available to people just running an instance of Discourse?
