The special characters are from characters in your code that need to be converted to html entities. Like say " needs to be “ I get that a lot when I cut and past content from word into TextMate. If your clients are doing that then start there for the special characters.
What are you trying to accomplish with these edittagsrc things? Are you defining a region for people to insert content? If you are using a form in the backend to update the data then you should just spit out the string into a div. Does your code in the site look for that special tag? If so you could change the way the script works and make it store the content in a variable and then just print that variable where you want it in the page. As for more help with CSS that's not really going to help you get your content from point A to point B. It is for making that content look awesome once it gets to point B. For CSS first start with getting ready of the font tags. And assigning a font-family and font-size to the body ( and using % or keyword like small) If you can go into a little more detail on the system you are using, I could be more specific but just email me directly to keep the non- CSS off the discussion list.
