+# Plugin extensions
+
+The following plugins are embedded within the core package:
+
+- [tables](https://help.github.com/articles/organizing-information-with-tables/) (GFM)
+- [strikethrough](https://help.github.com/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#styling-text) (GFM)
+
+These can be enabled individually:
+
+```python
+from markdown_it import MarkdownIt
+md = MarkdownIt("commonmark").enable('table')
+```
+
+or as part of a configuration:
+
+```python
+from markdown_it import MarkdownIt
+md = MarkdownIt("gfm-like")
+```
+
+```{seealso}
+See [](using.md)
+```
+
+Many other plugins are then available *via* the `mdit-py-plugins` package, including:
+
+- Front-matter
+- Footnotes
+- Definition lists
+- Task lists
+- Heading anchors
+- LaTeX math
+- Containers
+- Word count
+
+For full information see: <https://mdit-py-plugins.readthedocs.io>
+
+Or you can write them yourself!
+
+They can be chained and loaded *via*:
+
+```python
+from markdown_it import MarkdownIt
+from mdit_py_plugins import plugin1, plugin2
+md = MarkdownIt().use(plugin1, keyword=value).use(plugin2, keyword=value)
+html_string = md.render("some *Markdown*")
+```
