I can't belive that I, of all people, missed a chance to use a regex. I bow
my head in shame.
This just goes to show that expanding your mind is a bad thing. Back to the
straigt and narrowminded for me.
The only thing that I would do differently is add apostrophes, hyphens, and
underscores to the allowed characters and replace multiple spaces with a
single pipe to avoid issues there:
terms = REReplaceNoCase(terms, "[^a-z_-]+"," ","All");
terms = Replace(terms, " +","|","All");

: text = REReplaceNoCase(text,"(#terms#)","<em>\1</em>","All");
