No, you understood it right. But Tidy is a special HTML clean-up tool that is 
meant to correct HTML files. Instead of this step use a "Replace All" action 
and replace (^\s*$)+ with nothing (make sure  "Use grep" is activated).

Yes. If I understood the release notes of BBEdit 10 right, all you have to do 
is to save the textfactory in the "Text Filters" subfolder in your Support 
folder (usually located at ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/).
