{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Talk quote inline/styles.css}}
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.

== Usage ==
To quote a multi-paragraph excerpt or other block content instead of an inline entry, 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. For such use, see {{tlx|quote inline}} instead.

===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.

{{para|italic|yes}} or {{para|i|yes}} will force the content to be {{tq|i=y|green and italicised only}} (no change to serif font style); any value may be used, e.g. {{para|i|y}}.  This is typically used inside a block of text that is already serif-styled to make the highlighted text stand out better.

{{para|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.

{{para|q|yes}} or {{para|quotes|yes}} adds quotation marks around the colored text.

=== Examples ===
; What you write:
: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>...when you said, {{tq|Lorem ipsum '''dolor''' sit}}, and, {{tq|consectetur adipiscing elit|i=yes|title=This is a tooltip}}.</syntaxhighlight>
; What you get:
: ...when you said, {{tq|Lorem ipsum '''dolor''' sit}}, and, {{tq|consectetur adipiscing elit|i=yes|title=This is a tooltip}}.
; What you write:
: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>...when you said, {{tq|Lorem ipsum '''dolor''' sit|q=yes}}, and, {{tq|consectetur adipiscing elit|q=yes|i=yes|title=This is a tooltip}}.</syntaxhighlight>
; What you get:
: ...when you said, {{tq|Lorem ipsum '''dolor''' sit|q=yes}}, and, {{tq|consectetur adipiscing elit|q=yes|i=yes|title=This is a tooltip}}.
(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".)
