 Hi,
 I’m using a plugin to create popups with information from Wikipedia by
 enclosing a term in shortcode. Like this

 “Terwijl voormalig [wiki]Goldman Sachs[/wiki] bankier” (text in Gutenberg
 Paragraph Block, bold by me)

 On a Blog Page and in a Latest Posts Block with non-manual excerpts the
 following output is rendered:

 “Terwijl voormalig bankier”

 Both the shortcode and the enclosed content are gone (due to
 wp_trim_excerpt? as called by the_excerpt() ). Whereas content enclosed in
 HTML tags stays in place.

 The excerpt would preferably read:
 “Terwijl voormalig Goldman Sachs bankier”

 Is there a way to keep the content enclosed by (content enclosing)
 shortcode tags in the excerpt?

 Using Wp 5.4 PHP 7.4 Theme Twenty-twenty (and Blocksy, Astra)

 Imho I don’t see why you would want to loose your content (in enclosing
 shortcode tags) once an excerpt is created containing that content
