   Hello,

   Very nice post, IMHO.
   I also use gedit for HTML editing, but prefer not to run HTML Tidy 
through external tools, but rather through a dedicated plugin 
(http://www.eng.tau.ac.il/~atavory/gedit-plugins/html-tidy/). This 
allows running tidy to check stuff, and being able to click on the 
bottom pane to go directly to the error/warning. Also, if HTML Tidy is 
used to modify an existing file, and something is very botched, then it 
can simply erase the original contents entirely. As far as I understand, 
running it through external tools consequently necessitates output to a 
new document, which I personally find less convenient. Finally, as HTML 
Tidy modifies the document, the plugin tries to guess the change to the 
cursor position, and move the cursor to the correct place.  

   Bye,

   Ami
