You can always convert the web page in to PDF format, highlight the important part and share it. This is too lengthy process and once you send it the web page is not responsive. If the recipient wants to explore more, he has to manually open the page in Browser. To solve all the problem there is a simple online tool, Awesome Highlighter. It’s allowing you to highlight web content, add a note of you need and share it as a shorten URL.
