Coda Plug-in Creator

Coda 1.6 and later support Coda Plug-ins, which allow you to further extend its text editing functionality — even if you can't program Cocoa.

For this purpose you have the Coda Plug-in Creator. It helps you building your own plugins fast and easy.

Plug-ins have access to the text of the current document and can perform modifications on it as desired. For example, you could write a plug-in to insert the current date and time into your document, change the case of selected text, run code through a custom validator, or even wrap code with a special tag.

Plug-ins appear in Coda's menu when installed, and can be bound to specific keyboard shortcuts.

There are two ways to write a plug-in. The first way is to write a script in any common scripting language, then use the separate Coda Plug-In Creator application to bundle your script into a Coda plug-in. The second (more complex) way is to write directly to the Cocoa Plug-In API.
