Usage

Use this template to format style examples (for example, on the Manual of Style and its subpages), especially when using quotation marks or italics could be confusing. (Use 1= before the argument if it contains equals signs.)

Examples
What you write
Symbols for variables are normally italicized, and symbols for units of measurement are usually upright: for example, {{xt|1=''T'' = 293.15 K}}, {{xt|1=''m'' = 5.4 kg}}.
For nested quotations, use double quotes for the outermost level, single quotes for the next inner level, and continue alternating: for example, {{xt|The Dalai Lama stated in his book ''The Universe in a Single Atom'': "I am told that one of the greatest of all quantum theorists, Richard Feynman, wrote 'I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics', so at least I feel I am in good company."}}
