Tell us what you are trying to do?
I created template for a custom post. At the back end one can edit the excerpt using the editor. However, I created a template to show all fields of the post but then the text is shown as plain text.

Please have a look at hidden link
I made the word 'sopranos' bold and added some returns right after baryton...

Hello,

This is expected result, Toolset post excerpt shortcode is using WordPress built-in function the_excerpt() to get post excerpt data, see WP document:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_excerpt/
An auto-generated excerpt will also have all shortcodes and tags removed.
So it shows post excerpt as plain text.
