Other forms: highlights
A highlight is the best or most memorable part of something. The highlight of the trip, match highlights, highlight the passage.
As a verb it means to draw attention to, and it is also the marking of text in colour. In photography the highlights are the brightest areas, and once they are blown out to pure white no detail can be recovered from them.
