This is probably a question I should know the answer to.
I need to access a simple, lightweight text editor to do a little
bit of HTML authoring/ tidying. Textedit renders HTML, so this
isn't what I want. I used to use BBEdit, but this seems to be
only commercial now, and I don't need it enough to pay $125.
What are the alternatives?

You can also make Textedit use plain text in the Format menu, or by
pressing Command-Shift-T.

Hello Rob,
If TextEdit won't do what you want, perhaps WordService 2.7 will do
the job ... it's free.
"WordService provides 37 functions to convert, format or speak the
currently selected text, to insert data or to show statistics of the
selection within all Cocoa applications (e.g. Textedit, Pages, Mail,
Stickies, Safari or Xcode) and Carbon applications supporting
services."

Hello Rob,
From TextEdit Help:
"You can use TextEdit as an HTML editor. You can start from a new
plain text or RTF file, or you can edit content in an existing HTML
file.
When you create a document that contains embedded graphics, you can
save it as a Web Archive file. Plain text and RTF files can be saved
as HTML. You can open and edit these files in TextEdit, and you can
view them in a web browser, such as Safari."
Cheers,
Ronni
