Tidy wasn't included in the default installation, but it was available from the Ubuntu software repositories. Download and installation took a couple of minutes, and It was running. The default command line parameters for Tidy in Bluefish 1.0.7 made everything left-justified and added the Tidy generator mark, but thanks to your pointers here I soon had that rectified. Unfortunately, at the current level of development, Tidy for Linux/x86 released on 25 March 2009 apparently only gives indent increments of two (2) spaces, with no option to vary the amount of indent or substitute tab characters for the spaces. Perhaps that will be fixed in future releases. Even so, it comes very close to the source formatting to which I'm accustomed as a long-time user of Macromedia (Adobe) Dreamweaver.

Absolutely love the "block synchronisation" feature that 1.0.7 lacks.
