Description (last modified by sabernhardt)

Problem: if I use RSS block and want to show text excerpts, all <br> elements missing. It looks not very good, like missing spaces after some sentences. Look at the image, I highlighted places where is <br> in original RSS feed.

Suggestion: RSS block should display all <br> as spaces in excerpts.

The wp_trim_words function in the ​RSS block and the classic widget strips all tags before creating the excerpt.

To replace br tags with spaces, would it be good to address that in both RSS-related files or within the wp_trim_words function itself?
