Workaround for 'Content Character Limit' removing style?

[keithpurtell]

I've Googled without finding a way to preserve style in 'Genesis -Featured Page' when 'Content Character Limit' is selected.

I'm going to hard code an HTML solution, unless there is an obscure tip (even PHP) that someone wants to tell me about?

This is the way WordPress works when displaying an excerpt. The default is to strip HTML coding from the excerpt and just display text.

If you are using "Content Character Limit" you should get the Read More link. If you are using "Excerpt" you will not get the Read More link.

Excerpt

Excerpt:Only a portion of the content of the post will be displayed. The excerpt is a teaser that shows the first 55 words of the post's content. All HTML tags and graphics are stripped from the excerpt’s content.

Content Limit

Content Limit:Only a portion of the content of the post will be displayed. This setting is similar to showing an excerpt, but you can define the exact number of characters displayed.

You can modify the Excerpt character limit by adding this to your functions file or custom function plugin.

//* Modify the length of post excerpts
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'sp_excerpt_length' );
function sp_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 50; // pull first 50 words
}

This is very helpful.
In the case of the page that prompted the question, the client today shortened their text. But I'm keeping your responses for future use.

Instead of shortening the length, then all that needed to be done was to use the "More" tag. In Classic Editor there is the "More" button on the Kitchen Sink. If using the Block Editor, they could have split out their content into to Paragraph blocks and then inserted the "More" block in between them.
