Yes you should be able to just add this as the text to a command. The  
only thing you will have to do is to change $1 to $TM_FILEPATH, I think.
The great thing about Textmate is exactly that it can help you become  
a shell guru. :) I knew very little about the shell before textmate.  
You just look at the various commands, and you learn.
So if you just create a new command using $TM_FILEPATH instead of $1,  
asking it to save the file first, have it input the entire document  
and output either nothing or "HTML", you should be set. The hardest  
part would be choosing a good key equivalent for it. Bonus points if  
you make it create a nice looking HTML output, and allow you to click  
on any errors that appear.
There are all sorts of possibilities...
