Investigate find's '-exec' or '-execdir' if your version of find
supports it.

Note that this will overwrite the original files.

find . -type f \( -name '*.html' -o -name '*.htm' \) -exec tidy -m {} \;

Alernatively, writing to new files with a '.new' extension.

find . -type f \( -name '*.html' -o -name '*.htm' \) -exec tidy -o {}.new {} \;

Anything more complex would be best be accomplished by wrapping tidy in
a script and having 'find ... -exec ...' call that.
