as you’ve no doubt noticed, using the_excerpt() strips all html tags.
Fortunately, after a 5 second search right here in the forums, I turned up this plugin that lets you do all sorts of nifty customizing of the_excerpt: http://guff.szub.net/2005/02/26/the-excerpt-reloaded/
Give it a shot and see if that’s not what you’re after.
In the Excerpt i have a custom image, it’s not part of the description…i would have an image editor to add image in the excerpt and not add it manually
What is a custom image in an excerpt?
The content of the post is different from the Excerpt, i have an image in the excerpt to describe the entire article…i would have a way to insert image in the excerpt like in the description 🙁
