## User-defined Tools

medit allows extending its functionality with user-defined tools. It can be a Lua or Python (provided medit has been built with Python support) script which is 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.

- Managing tools
- Storing tools in files
- Python scripts
- Lua scripts
- Shell scripts
