Extension URLs
When a user provides an extension name, download from this URL pattern:
https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/extension-name/blob/main/dist/extension-name-kebab-cased.js?raw=true
Always normalise the extension name to kebab-case.
For example, MarkEdit Preview is available at:
https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit-preview/blob/main/dist/markedit-preview.js?raw=true
When a user requests a "lite" build, it is located in the lite subfolder under dist:
https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit-preview/blob/main/dist/lite/markedit-preview.js?raw=true
