Hi Koji,

oh, seems like I missed a bit of your suggestion. So you propose to
have mappings for all entities except the troublesome lt, gt, amp?

That should work, as long as it is okay that whitespace follows those
characters. I guess that it will indeed be okay for most situations.

Still, while that is a clever workaround, it doesn't change that the
advertised functionality in the HTML stripper is broken.


I now signed up for JIRA, and created SOLR-1394 for this issue.


Thanks,
Anders.
