Problems with the_excerpt_reloaded

(Trying to fix the unintentionaI operational tags included in my last post)

I have just discovered and installed the_excerpt_reloaded plugin. It’s a great plugin. I have posts which include images or embedded videos with no text or very little text and this plugin allows these to show up in the excerpted versions of the posts on category listing or tag pages.

However, the fix_tags function does not work. The only tags I can allow are <img> and <object> because they are basically self-contained and will not be split by the end of the excerpt. Other tags (<a>, <em>, <blockquote>, etc.) are left hanging by the end of the excerpt. My pages do not validate and the italics or link etc. run on into the following post excerpts.

My pages validate now because I only allow the <img> and <object> tags, but I would like to be able to us the others, too. Any solutions?
