- * jQuery Highlight plugin
- *
- * Based on highlight v3 by Johann Burkard
- * http://johannburkard.de/blog/programming/javascript/highlight-javascript-text-higlighting-jquery-plugin.html
- *
- * Code a little bit refactored and cleaned (in my humble opinion).
- * Most important changes:
- *  - has an option to highlight only entire words (wordsOnly - false by default),
- *  - has an option to be case sensitive (caseSensitive - false by default)
- *  - highlight element tag and class names can be specified in options
- *
- * Usage:
- *   // wrap every occurrance of text 'lorem' in content
- *   // with <span class='highlight'> (default options)
- *   $('#content').highlight('lorem');
- *
- *   // search for and highlight more terms at once
- *   // so you can save some time on traversing DOM
- *   $('#content').highlight(['lorem', 'ipsum']);
- *   $('#content').highlight('lorem ipsum');
- *
- *   // search only for entire word 'lorem'
- *   $('#content').highlight('lorem', { wordsOnly: true });
- *
- *   // don't ignore case during search of term 'lorem'
- *   $('#content').highlight('lorem', { caseSensitive: true });
- *
- *   // wrap every occurrance of term 'ipsum' in content
- *   // with <em class='important'>
- *   $('#content').highlight('ipsum', { element: 'em', className: 'important' });
- *
- *   // remove default highlight
- *   $('#content').unhighlight();
- *
- *   // remove custom highlight
- *   $('#content').unhighlight({ element: 'em', className: 'important' });
