Class DelimeterInserter

java.lang.Object

com.atlassian.jira.util.DelimeterInserter

public class DelimeterInserter
extends Object

This can take an input string and look into it for occurences of given terms. It will then intert delimeters into the input string arround the terms. You can use this to hilight text with bold tags in HTML for example.

This is smart enough to merge areas when they overlap or exit side by side, and only one set of delimeters will be inserted.
