[TxMt] Reformatting paragraphs with Textmate's LaTeX bundle

[Peter Cowan]

You might try using the Tidy command in the Latex bundle.  It appears
however that the command eats line endings, thus ruining your hard wraps.
 This command calls a well commented perl script which perhaps you can
adjust to your needs.
In general it seems that language specific functionality is implemented in
bundle items rather than default TM behaviors.
