Reusable content in SP2010 issue

Problem:
1.> Reusable content is added to an html field control as shown below

2.> Under the "Reusable Content" inserted into the page inside the same field contrl, add any OOTB web part.
3.> When you save or publish the page, the html gets mixed around and displays incorectly.

Hypothesis: I have to think this is a bug as each item can be added individually.
Possible Resolution:
  • Use different page layouts with more field controls or
  • programatically retrieve the reusable content and display it or
  • Use a dataview WP with custom xslt to display the reusable content.
Tip: Reusable content is not available inside web parts. So like in MOSS, you cannot insert reusable content inside the OOTB content editor web part. Reusable content is only available in field controls.
Tip: Reusable content is similar to what it was in MOSS, it is available if the SharePoint Server Publishing feature is activated in both the "Site Collection Features" & "Manage Site Features".
