I know, but sadly I have no control on it, it's just like WordPress
put out the code. :/
Anyway, I found a good solution (for good, I mean "better then no
solution", of course)
$('.hentry > p:first').addClass('excerpt').find('span').replaceWith
('hook');
var portions = $('.hentry > p:first').html();
var excerpt = portions.split('hook')[0];
var notexcerpt = portions.split('hook')[1];
$('.hentry > p:first').html("<strong>"+excerpt+"</strong>
"+notexcerpt);
Then I styled the excerpt by css with a ".excerpt strong" selector.
I am absolutely sure that jQuery/Javascript ninjas out there will
surely able to refactor it.
So, if someone would like to improve it, it would be really
appreciate.
I know it is a rough and crappy code, but, as said, better then
nothing.
