I used htmlEditFormat as Kwang suggested and it works great! My question now is about special characters like the registered mark ®. These seem to cause the "xml not well formed" error. Is there a function to replace these with these with there ascii equivalent? If not, does anyone have an all inclusive regex that would replace any and all of these characters?
