Highlighters are available in retractable form, or with an eraser on the opposite end of the felt tip. Other types of highlighters include the "trilighter," a triangularly-shaped pen with a different-coloured tip at each corner, and ones that are stackable.
Dry highlighters (occasionally called "dry line highlighters") are highlighters that, instead of having a felt tip, have applicators that apply a strip of highlighter tape, similar to audio cassette tape. Unlike standard highlighters, they are easily eraseable. They are to be distinguished from "dry mark highlighters", which are sometimes advertised as being useful for highlighting the Bible or other books with extremely thin pages. For other uses, see Bible (disambiguation). ...
Other Uses - On rare occasions artists have used highlighters (including erasable highlighters)[2], either alone or in conjunction with other media, to create drawings.
- Word processing software has the ability to simulate highlighting capabilities by using a technique not dissimilar from reverse video on some terminals. Similar to this is the program Web Highlighter, allowing one to "attach highlighting, notes, and links to any Web page viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later."[3]
- On human skin, highlighter ink shows up brightly under a blacklight but is nearly invisible in regular light.[citation needed]
- The redaction of sensitive information by the US military and security services is sometimes referred to humorously as 'using the black highlighter'."[4]
