This works beautifully! There is only one (unfortunately major) glitch:
I have defined my inserts to use `<' and `>', but I'm having problems
defining
the above macros in these terms. Compare the first and second paragraphs
in
the following: the first works fine but the second reports a "Runaway
Argument?" How can I fix this? I don't want to activate the angle
brackets
inside of the definition since in some applications I use them for other
things (like in critical editions).
The following test file illustrates the problem.
==========================
\long\def\startarabictext#1\stoparabictext
{{\bfd\processisolatedwords{#1}\struttedbox}}
\long\def\arabictext#1{\startarabictext#1\stoparabictext}
\catcode`\<=\active
\catcode`\>=\active
\def\startarabictextv{\startarabictext}
\let<=\startarabictextv
\let>=\stoparabictext
\starttext
Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new system
must not only be the implementer and first
\startarabictext test \stoparabictext
large-scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual.
