That is a problem with all WYSIWYG editors. If you don't get it right first time, you get silly situations like those nested <font> tags and nested divs.
There are two ways to tackle this. Manually: using BBEdit's syntax checker to find errors in the markup and fixing them individually. Automatically: using a grep search and replace. Unfortunately, the nested font tags will not be seen as an error, they are just clumsy and inefficient. There is no way to tell from your example if all those ending divs also have opening divs, making them valid technically, but again inefficient.
