So, there's a "SimpleHTMLEncoder" in Lucene (also included in the Solr distribution) and that could be of use here. When highlightTerm is called, SimpleHTMLFormatter would run the text through SimpleHTMLEncoder this naturally is going to result in some extra garbage generation. Is there any better place to put it? -jwb
