+<title>External tools</title>
+
+  <p>The <em>External Tools</em> plugin can help simplify repetitive tasks.
+  Specifically, it extends <app>gedit</app> by helping you to run scripts on
+  your working files, and by allowing <app>gedit</app> to interact with other
+  programs on your computer. To enable the <app>External Tools</app> plugin,
+  select <guiseq><gui style="menu">gedit</gui>
+  <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui><gui>Plugins</gui>
+  <gui>External Tools</gui></guiseq>.</p>
+
+  <section id="plugin-config-external-tools">
+    <title>Configure the external tools plugin</title>
+
+  <p>Once you have enabled the plugin, you will need to configure it to suit
+  your needs. The configuration options are available by selecting
+  <guiseq><gui>Tools</gui><gui>Manage External Tools</gui></guiseq>.</p>
+  
+  <note style="caution">
+    <p>This plugin is for advanced users, and requires knowledge of scripting
+    to be used effectively. Use this plugin with care, as mistakes with your
+    scripts can affect your work in unintended ways.</p>
