Template:Talk quote inline/doc

Usage

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

|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 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= or |quotes=yes adds quotation marks around the colored text.

Examples

What you write

...when you said, {{tqi|Lorem ipsum '''dolor''' sit}}, and, {{tqi|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, {{tqi|Lorem ipsum '''dolor''' sit|q=yes}}, and, {{tqi|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".)
