When there are images attached in top of the post, lightbox link code are included in the excerpt. I am not sure what is the purpose of those link code inside excerpt, it seem no meaning at all.

I am asking this, because it seem those link code cause some styling problem. For more detail, may refer to the post below.

> It seem that when there are images in the top of the post can cause some format style problem in the “topic list excerpt”. (It happen in both plugin & TC) Here is a example. The first two line is correct, but after a image, the third & forth lines style changed. (It happen in all the theme I have tried) [2021-02-03\_222316] With inspector, it seem the " topic list excerpt" are trying to include link of image within the excerpt, which cause problem in the style.
