As Morbus says, BBEdit's built-in Tidy commands are limited to the options
presented in their dialogs.
However, you can make use of the additional options offered by the
command-line 'tidy' tool by applying it as a shell filter. To do this:
Create a tidy config file ("tidyconfig.txt") containing your desired
options, then create a shell filter as follows:
====
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/tidy -f /dev/null -config /path/to/your/tidyconfig.txt "$1"
====
and save it into the "Unix Filters" folder of BBEdit's app support folder:
~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Unix Support/Unix Filters/
You can now apply this filter to the frontmost document on by selecting it
from the Unix Filters submenu of the Shebang (#!) menu.
[Please note that whatever options you set for 'tidy', you'll need to
redirect error output away from stderr, otherwise the combined output will
be directed to BBEdit's Unix Script Output window instead of replacing the
current document's contents.]
