Looks good!  The only thing is the comments are now dated relative to the 
documentation and may be a bit confusing.  Maybe it makes sense to delete them? 
 Not sure if the current strategy is to keep them forever for posterity.  A 
user could theoretically pull up previous versions and have the comments make 
sense.

Subject: Re: Solr Ref Guide, Highlighting

I think I'm done.  I integrated information from the 3 sub-pages into the 
Highlighting master page.  At this point I'd like to delete those 3 pages and 
remove the info box about a renovation being in-progress.

Solr 6.4 is the first release to introduce the UnifiedHighlighter as a new 
highlighter option.  I want to get it documented reasonably well in the Solr 
Ref Guide.  The Highlighters section is here: Highlighting   (lets see if this 
formatted email expands to the URL when it lands on the list)

Unless anyone objects, I'd like to rename the "Standard Highlighter" as 
"Original Highlighter" in the ref guide.  The original Highlighter has no 
actual name qualifications as it was indeed Lucene's original Highlighter.  
"Standard Highlighter" as a name purely exists as-such within the Solr 
Reference Guide only.  In our code it's used by "DefaultSolrHighlighter" which 
is really a combo of the original Highlighter and FastVectorHighlighter.   DSH 
ought to be refactored perhaps... but I digress.  

For those that haven't read CHANGES.txt yet, there is a new "hl.method" 
parameter which can be used to pick your highlighter.  Here I purposely chose a 
possible value of "original" to choose the original Highlighter (not 
"standard").

I haven't started documenting yet but I plan to refactor the highlighter docs a 
bit.  The intro page will better discuss the highlighter options and also how 
to configure both term vectors and offsets in postings.  Then the highlighter 
implementation specific pages will document the parameters and any 
configuration specific to them.  I'm a bit skeptical we need a page dedicated 
to the PostingsHighlighter as the UnifiedHighlighter is a derivative of it, 
supporting all it's options and more.  In that sense, maybe people are fine 
with it only being in the ref guide as a paragraph or two on the UH page 
describing how to activate it.  I suppose it's effectively deprecated.
