Learned the stuff below from the SciTE docs... you should
also post future questions in the scite-interest list at
lyra.org so we won't be OT here in comp.lang.python.

My Astyle and HTMLTidy settings are as follows:

In cpp.properties...

command.name.0.$(file.patterns.cpp)=Astyle File
command.0.$(file.patterns.cpp)=astyle --style=kr -s2 -o $(FileNameExt)
command.is.filter.0.$(file.patterns.cpp)=1


In html.properties...

command.name.0.$(file.patterns.tidy)=Tidy Entire File
command.0.$(file.patterns.tidy)=tidy -q -m "$(FileNameExt)"
commmand.save.before.0.$(file.patterns.tidy)=1
command.is.filter.0.$(file.patterns.tidy)=1

command.name.1.$(file.patterns.tidy)=Tidy Selection
command.1.$(file.patterns.tidy)=tidy -q --show-body-only yes
command.input.1.$(file.patterns.tidy)=$(CurrentSelection)
command.replace.selection.1.$(file.patterns.tidy)=1
command.quiet.1.$(file.patterns.tidy)=1

command.name.2.$(file.patterns.tidy)=Tidy Lint
commmand.save.before.2.$(file.patterns.tidy)=1
command.2.$(file.patterns.tidy)=tidy -q -o nul "$(FileNameExt)"

(Tidy integration for Selection and Lint is not as clean as I would want...)

Set reload.preserves.undo=1 in SciTEGlobal.properties might fix this.
