HTML in list items breaks marking of text while filtering

[koosvanderkolk]

I would like to give some more explanation on the items in the list. E.g. I have the following list:

var myList = ['AND <span>Logical AND operator</span>", "OR <span>Logical OR operator</span>", "NOT <span>Logical NOT operator</span>", "ONLY <span>Filters properties, usage: ONLY (property_a, property_b, ...)</span>"];

Problem is: the highlighting of the items in the list breaks the tags, as tags are being inserted.

E.g. when the input is 'an':

<mark>AN</mark>D <sp<mark>an</mark>>Logical <mark>AN</mark>D operator</sp<mark>an</mark>>

Is this solvable?
