ᱪᱷᱟᱸᱪ:Xtd
Example text
Using example-formatting templates in general
[ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ] | This family of templates cannot be used in mainspace (the article namespace). |
The category of example-formatting templates is used frequently in non-mainspace general help pages such as Wikipedia:Manual of Style (MOS) when inline typeface changes are needed.
This family of templates cannot be used in mainspace (the article namespace).
Also, this family of templates are not for use as wikitext markup for quotations on talk pages; use {{tq}} instead.
For cases where the serif typeface is not desirable (e.g. in blocks of computer code), use {{bxt}}, which substitutes boldfacing, or {{mxt}}, which substitutes a mono-spaced font. For style examples that break to their own line (e.g. paragraphs), use {{xt2}}.
For examples of bad/wrong style, in red, use {{!xt}}, {{!bxt}}, {{!mxt}}, or {{!xt2}}, respectively.
The {{xtd}} template exists for ᱪᱷᱟᱸᱪ:Xtg examples. Its alias {{xtg}} (for "grey") can be used to indicate uncertain, unavailable, disabled, lorem, etc., examples without implying deprecation. The bold, sans-serif equivalent is {{bxtd}} (and {{bxtg}} alias). The mono-spaced equivalent is {{mxtd}}.
The {{xtn}} template is for neutral examples, and has no color change, but is otherwise identical to {{xt}}. It can be used with {{xt}} and {{!xt}} to indicate usage that is neither advised nor advised against or deprecated. The bold, sans-serif equivalent is {{bxtn}}.
Parameters
[ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ]|text hereor|1=text here– The text to which to apply the markup. As with all templates, when the text has any equals characters ("="), explicitly prefix the text with|1=or the template will break.|title=tooltip text here– 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
Accessibility
[ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ]The accompanying change in typeface to a serif or mono-spaced type style (as in example text) is to make it fully accessible for those with color blindness.
Keep accessibility more broadly in mind, and never construct examples such that a blind person, who may not be able to see the coloration, boldfacing, or monospace font change, cannot understand the examples. Especially indicate, with terms like "not", "don't", "wrong:", etc., that a negative example is a negative one, or with "deprecated", "avoid", etc., that deprecated material is deprecated.
