Template:Talk quote inline
Example text
 | This template uses TemplateStyles:
Template:Talk quote inline/styles.css You may need to enable the TemplateStyles extension at Special:ManageWiki/extensions#mw-section-parserhooks on your wiki for template this to work properly. |
Usage
Template {{talk quote inline}} (aka {{tq}}) is used on talk pages to highlight a short excerpt of quoted material from elsewhere
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.
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 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.
Examples
- What you write
...when you said, {{tq|Lorem ipsum '''dolor''' sit}}, and, {{tq|consectetur adipiscing elit|i=yes|title=This is a tooltip}}.- What you get
- ...when you said,
Lorem ipsum dolor sit
, and,consectetur adipiscing elit
. - What you write
...when you said, {{tq|Lorem ipsum '''dolor''' sit|q=yes}}, and, {{tq|consectetur adipiscing elit|q=yes|i=yes|title=This is a tooltip}}.- What you get
- ...when you said,
Lorem ipsum dolor sit
, and,consectetur adipiscing elit
.
(Run your mouse over the words "consectetur adipiscing elit" and in a second you will see a tooltip pop up next to the mouse cursor which says, "This is a tooltip".)
