This and related templates produce an inline typeface change suitable to render e'''<u>X</u>'''ample '''<u>T</u>'''ext on Wikipedia's help pages.

==Using example-formatting templates in general==
{{mbox
| type  = content
| text  = '''Not for use in article space''': This family of templates cannot be used in mainspace (the article namespace).
}}
{{lua|Module:TEMPLATENAME|noprotcat=yes}}
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. 

{{code|xt} changes the typeface to serif and the text color to green.

For cases where the serif typeface is not desirable (e.g. in blocks of computer code), use , which substitutes boldfacing, or , which substitutes a monospaced font. For style examples that break to their own line (e.g. paragraphs), use .  

For examples of , use , , , or , respectively to the previous paragraph (the addition of the <code>!</code> indicates the opposite effect). Use  for bad/wrong style .

The  template exists for  examples. Its alias (for "grey") can be used to indicate uncertain, unavailable, disabled, lorem, etc., examples without implying deprecation. The bold, sans-serif equivalent is  (and  alias). The mono-spaced equivalent is {{tlx|mxtd}}.

The  template is for  examples, and has no color change, but is otherwise identical to {{tlx|xt}}. It can be used with {{tnull|xt}} and  to indicate usage that is neither advised nor advised against or deprecated. The bold, sans-serif equivalent is .

==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 monospaced type style (as in {{xt|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.

==Examples of &#123;&#123;xt&#125;&#125; syntax and result==

;What you write:

:<code><nowiki>...for example, {{xt|1=''T''&nbsp;=&nbsp;293.15&nbsp;K}}, but not .</nowiki></code>

;What you get:

:...for example, {{xt|1=''T''&nbsp;=&nbsp;293.15&nbsp;K}}, but not .
