medit allows extending its functionality with user-defined tools. It can be a Lua script or a Python script (if medit has been built with Python support) which are executed inside medit, or a shell script which can use the text of the open document as its input and/or output.

There are some predefined tools which you can use as an example or to modify to suit your needs.
