Subclass BaseTextDocument and reimplement the "save" method (do your stuff, 
then call BaseTextDocument::save).
Set an instance of your BaseTextDocument subclass as the text document via 
BaseTextEditor::setBaseTextDocument. Have a look how that is used in other 
BaseTextEditor subclasses in Qt Creator.
