 some themes display excerpts by calling the_excerpt(), which calls
 get_the_excerpt, then if there is no original excerpt, call
 apply_filters('get_the_excerpt', $output). Eventually wp_trim_excerpt() is
 called, and apply_filters('the_content', $text). The issue is that
 the_content filter parses shortcode such as [video ..] or [audio ..], and
 the result is truncated to 55 words, producing ugly output
 <eagleclaw2> I am proposing not to parse, nor to display, shortcode in
 wp_trim_excerpt. But then we need to enumerate and skip every type of
 shortcode ... not pretty..

 <rboren> eagleclaw2: Temporarily remove shortcode from the_content filter
 for wp_trim_excerpt()?
 <rboren> That would leave use with raw shortcodes.

 <rboren> But, we might need to write strip_shortcodes() at some point.
 <eagleclaw2> you mean to strip all the shortcodes, given a raw post ?
 <rboren> Something analogous to strip_tags() to be used in similar
 situations.
 <rboren> Just wondering out loud. :-)
 <eagleclaw2> agreed. let me attemp to write strip_shortcodes()
