Unformatted representation of the contribution extract.

Hello Tom,
Once again I need your help.
Why are the excerpts of posts on the start page displayed unformatted when I select in the Customizer under Layout -> Blog as content type "excerpt"?
See screenshots:
Screenshot gp_auszugdarstellung_1.png shows you how the extract is displayed and
gp_auszugdarstellung_2.png, how the actual article is formatted.
I hope you can help me again this time.
Many Thanks
Best regards,
Werner
Hi there,
the_excerpt function in WordPress automatically strips out all the mark up - hence the loss of formatting.
You can replace that function with some code, if you're up for that here is a very detailed article:

Or you may want to look for a plugin like: https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-excerpt/
