I should probably have made it explicit, but since the HTML output  
opens its window before the command exits, there's no way to abort  
that via the return code. You can close the window using JavaScript,  
but of course then you'll see a flash, as it quickly opens and closes.

There's a closeWindow bash function in TM_SUPPORT_PATH/lib/html.sh  
which can be used.

That's only because it hasn't been added yet — HTML output is  
different, because of the interplay with the WebKit (for incremental  
rendering), and thus, a tad more complicated to just switch to.
