Template {{tlx|talk quote inline}} (a.k.a. {{tlc|talk quotation}} or the shortcut {{tlc|tq}}) is used on talk pages (and in Wikipedia process pages, e.g. [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboards]]) to highlight a short excerpt of quoted material of other editors' comments or from an article or source.  To do so in a block of text instead of an inline entry, you can use {{tlx|talk quote block}} (a.k.a. {{tlx|talkquote}} or the shortcut {{tlx|tq2}}) (for "talk quote, option 2").
To format examples, especially when using quotation marks or italics could be confusing and an {{em|inline}} typeface change is needed, use {{tlx|xt}} or one of its subtemplates (used frequently in the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]).
By default, the template changes the given text to {{tq|serif typeface and green color}}. The accompanying change in typeface to a serif (roman) or italic type style ({{tq|i=y|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 {{tlx|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.
===Parameters===


{{para|1}} The text to highlight with the template.  As with all templates, when the text, given as the template parameter, contains an equals character (<code>=</code>), prefixing the text with {{para|1}} is {{em|required}} to ensure the character is correctly interpreted as being part of the normal text; otherwise it will break the template.

Usage[edit source]

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

Examples[edit source]

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".)
