The visual editor does a pretty good job of it these days but takes away most of your control and has some really annoying quirks. When I need to paste a large amount of HTML into a post, I usually search for an online tool that will turn all the tags into HTML entities (such as &) and then I paste the result from that. In a pinch, I code up a small PHP page and use htmlspecialchars() to do it myself. Displaying HTML in HTML is one of the eternal conundrums.
