Enabling html in excerpts

Try using the optional excerpt in each Post page.

But doesn’t that automatically strip html?

Amazing, it works. I assumed it was only working because I had an advanced excerpt plugin installed.

Hey.. question.. may be a dumb one.. where do you access the optional excerpt? Thanks.

In the Post -> Add New/Edit Post page. If you do not see this pane, click Screen Options at the very top of the page and check “Excerpt”.
