javascript - JS highlight matched content x times
Answer
How can you highlight x occurrences
How can you highlight, in pure JS only, a limited subset of matches from a set of text so that only x number of highlights occur per match.
var matches = new Array('fox', 'dog');
var MaxHighlights = 2;
Original content
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog but the lazy dog is quick of the mark to catch the brown fox. In general the fox versus the dog is not a good match.
Highlighted content

For extra points I'd preferably only highlight one match per sentence.
