{{distinguish|Category:Text color templates}}
==Using example-formatting templates in general==
{{mbox
| type      = content
| small = yes
| text      = This family of templates ''cannot'' be used in [[Wikipedia:Mainspace|mainspace]] (the article [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]]).
}}
The [[:Category:Example-formatting templates|category of example-formatting templates]] is used frequently in non-[[Wikipedia:Mainspace|mainspace]] general help pages such as [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Wikipedia:Manual of Style (MOS)]] when ''inline'' typeface changes are needed.
 
{{strong|This family of templates ''cannot'' be used in mainspace (the article [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]]).}}
 
{{strong|Also, this family of templates are ''not'' for use as [[Help:Wikitext|wikitext markup]] for [[Wikipedia:Quotations|quotations]] on [[Wikipedia:Talk pages|talk pages]]}}; use {{tlx|tq}} instead.
 
For cases where the serif typeface is not desirable (e.g. in blocks of computer code), use {{tlx|bxt}}, which substitutes boldfacing, or {{tlx|mxt}}, which substitutes a mono-spaced font. For style examples that break to their own line (e.g. paragraphs), use {{tlx|xt2}}. 
 
For examples of {{!xt|bad/wrong style, in red}}, use {{tlx|!xt}}, {{tlx|!bxt}}, {{tlx|!mxt}}, or {{tlx|!xt2}}, respectively.
 
The {{tlx|xtd}} template exists for {{xtg|deprecated}} examples. Its alias {{tlx|xtg}} (for "grey") can be used to indicate uncertain, unavailable, disabled, lorem, etc., examples without implying [[deprecation]]. The bold, sans-serif equivalent is {{tlx|bxtd}} (and {{tlx|bxtg}} alias). The mono-spaced equivalent is {{tlx|mxtd}}.
 
The {{tlx|xtn}} template is for {{xtn|neutral}} examples, and has no color change, but is otherwise identical to {{tlx|xt}}. It can be used with {{tnull|xt}} and {{tnull|!xt}} to indicate usage that is neither advised nor advised against or deprecated. The bold, sans-serif equivalent is {{tlx|bxtn}}.
 
==Parameters==
 
* {{para||{{var|text here}}}} or {{para|1|{{var|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 {{para|1}} or the template will break.
* {{para|title|{{var|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==
The accompanying change in typeface to a serif or mono-spaced type style (as in {{xt|example text}}) is to make it fully accessible for those with [[color blindness]].
 
Keep [[WP:Accessibility|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.
 
==Examples of {{tlx|xt}} syntax and result==
 
;What you write:
 
:<code><nowiki>...for example, {{xt|1=''T''&nbsp;=&nbsp;293.15&nbsp;K}}, but not {{!xt|1=''m''=5.4kg}}.</nowiki></code>
 
;What you get:
 
:...for example, {{xt|1=''T''&nbsp;=&nbsp;293.15&nbsp;K}}, but not {{!xt|1=''m''=5.4kg}}.
