Hi,
I want users to add content to my site using tinyMCE, which generates HTML.
When I tried adding the data to Solr, Solr refused to add it (or at least
generated an error):
SEVERE: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: parser must be on START_TAG
or TEXT to read text (position: START_TAG seen ...<field name="text"><p>...
