Changes (by addiestavlo):

 * Attachment "br-spacing-fix.diff" added.

 `<br>` tags are stripped without preserving spacing, causing words to
 concatenate (e.g., ‘thisexample’). This replaces `<br>` with a space
 before tag stripping to preserve word boundaries. Note tags are already
 stripped just after this, and newlines, returns, spaces, etc. are all
 later used to create the $words_array here. This helps retain expected
 generated excerpt behavior when using verse and paragraph (w/ shft+space)
 type blocks.
