Hi.

I'm also trying to highlight a specific word or phrase in the text of
a document. However, the input is coming from the command line. Erik's
example helped me alot, but I'm having a little difficulty with the
recursion. Within the same element, I only get the first two instances
of the word highlighted.

The code is below. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Cindy
