wp-includes/blocks.php:2247Parses blocks out of a content string, and renders those appropriate for the excerpt.
$contentstringstring2 hooks fire while excerpt_remove_blocks() runs, in this order:
Filters the list of blocks that can be used as wrapper blocks, allowing excerpts to be generated from the `innerBlocks` of these wrappers.
Filters the list of blocks that can contribute to the excerpt.
