If you use HTMLStripCharFilter, it extracts the text only, leaving tags out, and remembering the word positions so that highlighting works properly. Should do exactly what you want out of the box...

I need to take an html page  that I retrieve from my lucene search and

any html tags since I don't want any words in tags which happen to match the 
search to be highlighted.

Note that I don't want sections of the document.  I need to highlight all terms in the 
document (with a <span> or something similar) and get back the entire document (with 
the new <span>s) so it can be displayed in its entirety with the search terms 
highlighted.

Last time I did this (in the days of 1.4.2 - so a while ago), I had to write a 
custom tokenizer that skipped over the html tokens so that I didn't 
accidentally highlight them.  I'm hoping that there is an easier way to do this 
now.

Suggestions?
