Things I'd like to see eliminated.
1) Don't want blank line inserted after Doctype. 2) Don't want to credit Tidy as generator. 3) Don't want blank line inserted after closing head (</head>). 4) Don't want blank line inserted after html comment. 5) Don't want blank line inserted after closing h1 and paragraph tag. 6) Why is it wrapping the CSS found before the closing head tag with:
/*<![CDATA[*/
/*]]>*/
I don't have a problem with the way it indents, just the above concerns.
Besides not doing the stuff mentioned above, Dreamweaver's Source Formatting command:
1) Eliminates all blank line feeds.
2) Does not place content within <p></p> in a separate indented line. It keeps everything compact like so:
<p>My content here.</p>
3) *Does* place the content within <div></div> on a separate line indented like so:
<div> <p>Content here</p> </div>
Yep, maybe a GUI dialog would help but for the masses migrating from Dreamweaver, maybe providing a default Dreamweaver-like setting that addresses the above would suffice. What's crazy is that as great as BBEdit and other editors are, I know a lot of people that keep Dreamweaver around just for source formatting.

You'll have to clarify. What exactly happens that you don't like? How would you prefer the command to work? Which options from tidy (there are several dozen, almost all of which seem pretty stupid to me :p) do you want TextMate to expose to the user?
For more on creating TM commands, the TM manual has a pretty good explanation.
I'd love Dreamweaver's method of formatting within TextMate--at least
for HTML
files. What's nice about BBEdit is that it allows you to point to
Dreamweaver's
SourceProfile.txt file as a custom profile for source formatting.
You could certainly build this feature yourself. But if you want someone else to help you out with that, you'll have to explain how it works.
I think it would maybe be worthwhile to put some sort of GUI dialog in front of a tidy command. But which options are needed? Keeping the interface as super simple as possible also has many benefits (such as keeping people from making unreadable unindented html ;).
