Plugins for the lite text editor
Note: if you make a pull request, the table should be updated and kept in alphabetical order. If your plugin is large (or you'd otherwise prefer it to have its own repo), the table can simply be updated to add a link to the repo; otherwise the plugin file itself can be submitted. If a plugin's link resolves to something other than a raw file it should be marked with an asterisk.
