//jQuery function to parse url_terms from url when current page was linked from Vaniquotes
//The vaniquotes link was modified to include these url_terms in order to highlight them in the current page in Vanisource

$(document).ready(function() {
  //First check if the current page is an Article
  if (wgCanonicalNamespace == "" && location.search && wgAction == "view") {
    var body_html = $('#bodyContent').html();
    search_str = decodeURI(this.location.search);
    search_str = search_str.replace(/\?terms=/, '');
    search_str = search_str.replace(/\+$/m, '');
    url_terms = search_str.split('+');
    url_terms = $(url_terms);
    for (var i = 0, len = url_terms.length; i < len; ++i) {
        //sanitize text for search
        if (url_terms[i] != "") {
          url_term = url_terms[i];
          //regex search including "text" which is the current url_term in the loop
          var search1 = new RegExp('([^a-zA-Z])('+url_term+')([^a-zA-Z])', 'img');
          //search and replace where url_term is found in html copy
          body_html = body_html.replace(search1, "$1<span class='highlight_terms'>$2</span>$3");
          $('#bodyContent').html(body_html);
        }
    }
    //$.scrollTo('span.highlight_terms', '1500', {offset:-100});
