Template:Talk quote inline
More actions
Page Talk quote inline/styles.css has no content.Example text
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
Template {{talk quote inline}} (a.k.a. {{talk quotation}} or the shortcut {{tq}}) is used on talk pages (and in Wikipedia process pages, e.g. noticeboards) to highlight a short excerpt of quoted material of other editors' comments or from an article or source.
Usage
To quote a multi-paragraph excerpt or other block content instead of an inline entry, use {{talk quote block}} (a.k.a. {{talkquote}} or the shortcut {{tq2}}) (for "talk quote, option 2").
To format examples, especially when using quotation marks or italics could be confusing and an inline typeface change is needed, use {{xt}} or one of its subtemplates (used frequently in the Manual of Style).
By default, the template changes the given text to Page Talk quote inline/styles.css has no content.serif typeface and green color
. The accompanying change in typeface to a serif (roman) or italic type style (Page Talk quote inline/styles.css has no content.example text
) is to make it fully accessible for those readers with red/green color blindness.
For block quotations on talk pages that break onto their own line, or contain paragraph breaks, editors can use {{talk quote block}} instead.
This template is not intended for use in articles, and displays an error message if it is used in the article namespace. For such use, see {{quote inline}} instead.
Parameters
|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 required 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 Page Talk quote inline/styles.css has no content.green and italicised only
(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=yes or |quotes=yes adds quotation marks around the colored text.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit
, and, Page Talk quote inline/styles.css has no content.consectetur adipiscing elit
