Here's an example of mixed English and Arabic text. I defined the `HighlightText` command to highlight the text, but a problem arises in both cases:
1. In case of right-to-left text, the command fails with English text (If it is not followed by English text). 2. In case of left-to-right text, the command fails with Arabic text (If it is not followed by Arabic text). ``` \starttext \setupdirections[bidi=global,method=one] \definefont[myfont][name:Amiri*arabic at 12pt] \definetextbackground[HighlightText][backgroundcolor=yellow, frame=off] \startmixedcolumns[n=2] \myfont \righttoleft first word \startHighlightText second word \stopHighlightText كلمة أولى \startHighlightText كلمة ثانية \stopHighlightText \column \lefttoright first word \startHighlightText second word \stopHighlightText كلمة أولى \startHighlightText كلمة ثانية \stopHighlightText \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext ```
