Plugin Request: Disable HTML Headers in Discourse
erikmolenaarnl is seeking a native Discourse plugin to disable HTML headers on the front-end, replacing them with plain text output. The plugin should prevent HTML headers from being applied when users use markdown or HTML code such as H1, H2.
erikmolenaarnl has offered a budget of $100 for the plugin’s development.
pfaffman suggested using the /raw/ URL to achieve this, but erikmolenaarnl pointed out that this solution is not practical for the native front-end.
William04GamerA suggested using backticks `` to avoid HTML headers, but erikmolenaarnl emphasized that most of his forum users are unaware of this workaround and unintentionally use markup and HTML headers in their replies, making a plugin necessary to disable HTML headers completely.
I would like a native Discourse plugin to be developed which:
Disables HTML headers on the front-end. In Discourse, these are nativly applied to the front-end when markdown or HTML code such as H1, H2 is used. I would like no HTML header output at all time, and just 1:1 plain text output. Just like this attachment:
Budget: $100
Looking forward to your replies! Thanks 
You can get that with https://meta.discourse.org/raw/82890 (I think you’ll need to open it in a new tab).
Hi @pfaffman
Thanks for your reply, but I have no idea how to implement a /raw/ URL with the replies shown on the native front-end of Discourse That’s why I need a plugin to do this (check out the screenshot)
I don’t think that you can do this without a plugin if you don’t use a /raw link. You could also use `` - symbols, it might be easier to apply as a plugin.
Output:
<h1> text here</h1>
Yup, but most of my forum users don’t know this and keep unintentionally using markup and HTML headers in their replies. That’s why I need a plugin to disable HTML headers completely.
I understand.
