{{Documentation subpage|[[Template:xt]], [[Template:bxt]], [[Template:mxt]], [[Template:xtd]], [[Template:bxtd]], [[Template:!xt]], [[Template:!bxt]], and [[Template:!mxt]]}}


==Usage==
Use template {{tlx|xt}} (the name of which stands for "e<strong>x</strong>ample <strong>t</strong>ext") in order to format examples of style, especially when using quotation marks or italics could be confusing. This changes the given text to {{xt|the serif typeface and green color}}. This template is used frequently in the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] when ''inline'' typeface changes are needed. For cases where the serif typeface is not desirable (e.g. in blocks of computer code), use {{tlx|bxt}}, which substitutes boldfacing, or {{tlx|mxt}}, which substitutes a mono-spaced font. For style examples that break to their own line (e.g. paragraphs), use {{tlx|xt2}}.

For examples of {{!xt|bad/wrong style, in red}}, use {{tlx|!xt}}, {{tlx|!bxt}}), {{tlx|!mxt}}), or {{tlx|!xt2}}, respectively.

The {{tlx|xtd}} template exists for {{xtg|deprecated}} examples. Its alias {{tlx|xtg}} (for "grey") can be used to indicate uncertain, unavailable, disabled, lorem, etc., examples without implying [[deprecation]]. The bold, sans-serif equivalent is {{tlx|bxtd}} (and {{tlx|bxtg}} alias). The mono-spaced equivalent is {{tlx|mxtd}}.

The {{tlx|xtn}} template is for {{xtn|neutral}} examples, and has no color change, but is otherwise identical to {{tnull|xt}}. It can be used with {{tnull|xt}} and {{tnull|!xt}} to indicate usage that is neither advised nor advised against or deprecated. The bold, sans-serif equivalent is {{tlx|bxtn}}.

{{strong|These templates cannot be used in mainspace (articles).}} Attempting to do so will throw an error.home use

{{strong|These templates are not for use as quotation markup in talk pages}}; use {{tlx|tq}} instead.

=== Parameters ===

* {{para||{{var|text here}}}} or {{para|1|{{var|text here}}}} – The text to which to apply the markup. As with all templates, when the text has any equals characters ("="), explicitly prefix the text with {{para|1}} or the template will break.
* {{para|title|{{var|tooltip text here}}}} – Takes text, ''which cannot be marked up in any way'', and displays it as a pop-up "tooltip" (in most browsers) when the cursor hovers over the span

===Accessibility===
The accompanying change in typeface to a serif or mono-spaced type style, ({{xt|example text}}) is to make it fully accessible for those with color blindness.

Keep [[WP:Accessibility|accessibility]] more broadly in mind, and never construct examples such that a blind person, who may not be able to see the coloration, boldfacing, or monospace font change, cannot understand the examples. Especially indicate, with terms like "not", "don't", "wrong:", etc., that a negative example is a negative one, or with "deprecated", "avoid", etc., that deprecated material is deprecated.

===Examples===

;What you write:

:<code><nowiki>...for example, {{xt|1=''T'' = 293.15 K}}, but not {{!xt|1=''m''=5.4kg}}.</nowiki></code>

;What you get:

:...for example, {{xt|1=''T'' = 293.15 K}}, but not {{!xt|1=''m''=5.4kg}}.
