Template:Talk quote inline
Example text
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
Usage[edit]
Template {{talk quote inline}} (a.k.a. {{tqi}}) is used on talk pages (and in Wikisource process pages) to highlight a short excerpt of quoted material of other editors' comments or from an article or source.
By default, the template changes the given text to serif typeface and green color
. The accompanying change in typeface to a serif (roman) or italic type style (example text
) is to make it fully accessible for those readers with red/ green color blindness.
This template is not intended for use in articles, and displays an error message if it is used in the main namespace.
Parameters[edit]
|1= The text to highlight with the template. As with all templates, when the text, given as the template parameter, contains an equals character (=), prefixing the text with |1= is to ensure the character is correctly interpreted as being part of the normal text; otherwise it will break the template.
|italic=yes or |i=yes will force the content to be (no change to serif font style); any value may be used, e.g. |i=y. This is typically used inside a block of text that is already serif-styled to make the highlighted text stand out better.
|title= 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. The most common use of this is to provide attribution.
|q= or |quotes=yes adds quotation marks around the colored text.
