The problem here is that the input text contains quotes and doubled close
squarebrackets.
The quotes in the inputText interfere with quotes that delimit the
filter="..." syntax in your macro,
and the ]] in the inputText interferes with the brackets that surround the
[[$inputText$]] in the filter.
To avoid all that, instead of passing the text into your macro as a
parameter,
pass the name of the tiddler you want to process, and then fetch the text of
that tiddler inside your filter, like this:
\define formatTid.highlightText(source targetString)
<$set name="outputText" filter=
"[{$source$}splitregexp[\b$targetString$\b]join[@@color:blue;$targetString$@@]]"
select="0">
| ''outputText''|@@white-space:pre;<<showOutput>>@@|
\end
\define showOutput()
\rules only styleinline
$(outputText)$
\end
<$macrocall $name="formatTid.highlightText" source="highlightTest.sentence"
targetString="goFish"/>
enjoy,
