Not functions from your command, but you can have JavaScript call ruby 
scripts, so you would have to create an external script (in the 
`Support/` folder of the bundle) and then provide argument when calling 
this script, as to what function it should execute.

The documentation is rather sparse: 
https://macromates.com/textmate/manual/html-output#javascript-api

Basically you can do `<script>TextMate.system(«command»)</script>` in 
your HTML output to call `«command»`.

We have a few examples of this, for example ⌃H in a ruby file on a 
word will lookup documentation (`ri`) for that word, and there will be 
links in the output which calls `ri` again.

The script for this is here:
