Plugins for [Lite XL](https://github.com/franko/lite-xl)

*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.
If a plugin has modifications specific to Lite XL or is otherwise incompatible
with the official version of lite, format the name in italic.*
