thematic_content() generated excerpts are difficult to style

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Problem: thematic_content() uses get_the_excerpt for generating excerpts. there 
have been 
support requests stating difficulty with styling:

http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/styling-excerpts

Also see my answer to Allan's mentioning of it here:

http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/missing-paragraph-tags-in-the_excerpt

I discovered that dealing with this was made difficult by the lack of global 
scope for $content. 
One solution would be to rename $content and give it global scope. Another 
would be to use 
wpautop similarly to the code in my answer to Allan.

Thanks-

Coming back to this...

Another support thread and possible solution :

Here I go with my two cents: I really think the best solution moving forward 
would be to wrap thematic's 
excerpts in something... p or span whatever suits. 

Seems more efficient and less problematic to have child themer's using css 
solutions for this instead of php 
functions.

Thanks- Gene
