Bit of an odd one. I create hand crafted excerpts and formatting isn't an issue. I created a new RSS template just for a Flipboard feed and Flipboard seems to create the excerpt dynamically from the content depending on space. My problem is it formats it as a normal excerpt so strips paragraphs. As a result there are no line breaks / sections just a big chunk of text - if you look at https://flipboard.com/section/skipology-bbClz2 and flick to the first page you'll see what I mean. It also means that there isn't a gap between the full stop at the end of one paragraph and the first word of another.
Is there any way to reintroduce <p> and </p> tags for the excerpt just for the custom feed which has it's own template and URL. I could add code either within the template which would target the feed directly or via functions.php which would need to target the feed within the code somehow.
As there is no formatting for the excerpt it would be great if I could insert <p> </p> between each paragraph to create a line of space if possible but just for the excerpt.
The RSS feed is for a specific purpose so I can get quite bespoke with it.
