PROBLEM

Begin typing without the unwanted styles and formatting inserted by the pasteHtml method to be applied to user input text
  

DESCRIPTION

After I perform the following client script on the RadEditor, how do I begin typing without the styles from newly inserted tag to be applied to user input text?

editor.pasteHtml("<span style='color:red;'>Red colored span</span>");

In other words, after I paste the tag, it should be self-contained and when I start typing again, I want to be outside the newly created span.

I would also like a space after the newly created tag but nothing I do seems to visually show a space.  If I paste &nbsp; it gets inserted to the html but visually in content area, there is no space.
  

SOLUTION

The idea is to insert a marker element <span id='_reSelectionMarker'><br /></span>, to programmatically select it to move the caret over it and to remove it:
