highlight(text, phrases, highlighter = '\1') public

Highlights one or more phrases everywhere in text by inserting it into a highlighter string. The highlighter can be specialized by passing highlighter as a single-quoted string with \1 where the phrase is to be inserted (defaults to ’<strong class="highlight">\1</strong>’)

Examples

  highlight('You searched for: rails', 'rails')
  # => You searched for: <strong class="highlight">rails</strong>

  highlight('You searched for: ruby, rails, dhh', 'actionpack')
  # => You searched for: ruby, rails, dhh

  highlight('You searched for: rails', ['for', 'rails'], '<em>\1</em>')
  # => You searched <em>for</em>: <em>rails</em>

  highlight('You searched for: rails', 'rails', "<a href='search?q=\1'>\1</a>")
  # => You searched for: <a href='search?q=rails>rails</a>
