A highlighter is a writing instrument that is typically used to draw attention to specific parts of text by marking them with bright, fluorescent colors. Highlighters are commonly used in studying and note-taking to emphasize important information and make it easier to review later. They are also used in legal and medical fields to highlight key points in contracts, documents, and reports. Highlighters typically come in a range of colors, including yellow, pink, green, blue, orange, and purple. Some highlighters are also designed with features like retractable tips and clip caps for convenient use and storage.
