Highlight regex matches in a given piece of text. This is most easily explained with an example:

import Regex exposing (regex)
import Html.Attributes exposing (class)


matchText
  [class "match"]
  (regex "the")
  "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"


=>


[span [class "match"] [text "the"]
,text " quick brown fox jumped over "
,span [class "match"] [text "the"]
,text " lazy dog"]


Now you can add a CSS rule like `.match {background-color: yellow;}` to highlight matches
for the user.


(Note that you can supply any attributes you like for the matched sections, or an empty list.)

A non-breaking space. elm-html doesn't support escape sequences like text "&nbsp", so use this string instead.
