Although BBEdit's built-in Tidy commands do not look at the environment,
you can make use of any options supported by the command-line 'tidy' tool
(see 'man tidy') by applying it as a text filter.
To do this:
1. Create a tidy config file (e.g. "~/Documents/tidyconfig.txt") which
contains whatever options you wish to apply.
2. Create a shell filter which invokes 'tidy'[1] as follows:
====
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/tidy -f /dev/null -config /path/to/your/tidyconfig.txt
====
substituting the actual path to your tidy config file for the
placeholder.
3. Save this filter as a file (e.g. "tidy_it.sh") in the "Text Filters"
folder of BBEdit's app support folder (~/Library/Application
Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/)
You can now apply this filter to the frontmost document by choosing Text ->
Apply Text Filter -> [tidy_it]
[1. 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.]
