highlighter
Bright text marker
A highlighter is a felt-tip pen with transparent fluorescent ink, used to mark important passages in text without obscuring them: I highlighted the key terms in yellow.
The word also refers to cosmetics that add brightness to facial features—cheekbones, brow bones, the bridge of the nose.
In computing, to highlight is to select text or objects, typically shown with colored backgrounds.
