Right, I did give the output as XML. I find XML to be a great document
markup language, but a terrible command format! Mostly, due to
(mis-)use of the attributes.

Thank you! That is quite more intuitive and less ambiguous than the
XML, would you not agree?

I have not posted on the book postings, but I will definitely order
one. My vote is for spiral bound, though I know that the perfect-bound
will look more professional on a bookshelf. I don't even care what the
book costs, within reason. Any resource that compiles in a single
package the wonderful methods that yourself and other contributors
mention here and in other places online, will pay for itself in short
order. Apache Solr is an amazing product, but it is often obtuse and
unintuitive. Other times one does not even know what Solr is capable
of, such as the case in this thread, where I was parsing entire
documents to change the multiField value.

Thank you very much!
