A GOOD and versatile news manager needed

[andyash]

1. Open up the following file,
     plugins/news_manager/inc/functions.php
2. Look for the following function (should be around line 150 or so):
     nm_create_excerpt($content)
3. Inside that function delete the following line:
     $content = strip_tags($content);
4. Save the file and you see images in excerpts now.

When I do this some of the posts where there may be an image overlapping the excerpt length then my template breaks. Is there a way of avoiding that or ensuring that if an image is overlapping the text excerpt length then it should either be included or excluded from the excerpt?
