DNN's "Rad Editor" text editor is pretty slick, and it's really nice to be able to configure it in the Host area. And its table editing abilities are great (most of the time). However, the formatting HTML that it renders can be very, very bad. Examples:

• If the user changes formatting on a line or paragraph several times, existing markup is not cleared as needed, so you end up with nested nested nested waste markup, which actually does nothing except take up memory and bandwidth. This example is actually a small one, copied from an actual HTML module. I found one case that had <strong><strong><strong>...</strong></strong></strong> 17 blocks deep, with no text!
  

  <em></em><strong></strong><strong></strong><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></p><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></div>
  
  

• The editor will decide on its own that you need a paragraph container, in inappropriate places. Like in a list item:
  <li>
       <p>Why do I need a paragraph here?</p>
  </li>
  
  
• When backspacing to take out a line feed or an empty paragraph, the editor will decide on its own that you need a table to contain the paragraph you are working on:
  

  <table border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" style="margin-top: 5px; width: 100%; display: inline ;">

       <tbody style="display: inline ;">

           <tr style="display: inline ;">

               <td style="width: 50%; display: inline ;">

                   <p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline ;">All I did to create this table was backspace at the beginning of this paragraph!</p>

               </td>

           </tr>

       </tbody>

   </table>

• It's really sweet when the editor decides you need a table in a List Item !!!

Those automagic tables are nearly impossible to avoid, and more impossible to get rid of in the Rich Text editor. Once this stuff gets nested deep enough, it becomes impossible for the user to get the desired formatting. Then it becomes necessary to go directly into the HTML view to fix it. And when the user isn't HTML savvy, it generates support calls. Sometimes it gets so bad, the only real way to fix it is to copy the HTML into an HTML editor, fix it, then copy it back.

I'm not sure whether to post this as a bug to the Core Team or not. Is the Telerik editor better, even though it's not as easy to configure?
