Description

Right now, wp_trim_excerpt is destructive. You can filter it, but once tags are stripped, you can't get them back without recreating the excerpt from the raw input. It would be nice if theme developers had an option to preserve at least some of the HTML formatting when using excerpts as post teasers (see #9260).

Second patch balances the tags after the excerpt has been truncated, which makes more sense. However, it can result in weirdness with the word count. Not sure how to get around that without some really painful regex.

This patch also preserves shortcodes in excerpts, which seems logical if we're allowing HTML.
