Some [[Word processor|word processing software]] can simulate highlighting by using a technique similar to [[reverse video]] on some [[computer terminal|terminals]]. For example, the <code>CHAR</code> command of [[Commodore 128]] BASIC allows text to be displayed in reverse, which can be used to highlight text forms and selected items in menus.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Hardee |first=Martin |url=https://archive.org/details/commodore128basi0000hard/ |title=Commodore 128 BASIC: Programming Techniques |date=1986 |publisher=Tab Books |others= |isbn=978-0-8306-0432-6 |edition=1st |publication-place=Blue Ridge Summit, PA |pages=106&ndash;114}}</ref>

In [[HTML]], text can be highlighted in yellow with the <code><nowiki><mark></nowiki></code> element. <mark>This is an example.</mark>

Some forms of [[syntax highlighting]] may also be displayed in the style of a highlighter pen, with a bright or pastel background to the text. Some web [[browser extension]]s also enable users to create digital highlights on websites and online PDFs.
