Uwe Schindler updated LUCENE-5191:
----------------------------------
Description:
The highlighter provides a function to escape HTML, which does to much. To
create valid HTML only ", <, >, & must be escaped, everything else can kept
unescaped. The escaper unfortunately does also additionally escape everything >
127, which is unneeded if your web site has the correct encoding. It also
produces huge amounts of HTML entities if used with eastern languages.
This would not be a bugf if the escaping would be correct, but it isn't, it
escapes like that:
{{result.append("\&#").append((int)ch).append(";");}}
So it escapes not (as HTML needs) the unicode codepoint, instead it escapes the
UTF-16 char, which is incorrect, e.g. for our all-time favourite Deseret:
U+10400 (deseret capital letter long i) would be escaped as
{{&\#55297;&\#56320;}} and not as {{&\#66560;}}.
So we should remove the stupid encoding of chars > 127 which is simply useless
:-)
