{{distinguish|Category:Text color templates}}
{{High-use}}
This and related templates produce an inline typeface change suitable to render e'''<u>X</u>'''ample '''<u>T</u>'''ext on [[Help:Contents|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 [[Wikipedia:Mainspace|mainspace]] (the article [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]]).
}}
{{lua|Module:TEMPLATENAME|noprotcat=yes}}
The [[:Category:Example-formatting templates|category of example-formatting templates]] is used frequently in non-[[Wikipedia:Mainspace|mainspace]] general [[Help:Contents|help pages]] such as [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|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 {{tlx|bxt}}, which substitutes boldfacing, or {{tlx|mxt}}, which substitutes a monospaced 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 to the previous paragraph (the addition of the <code>[[Negation#Programming language and ordinary language|!]]</code> indicates the opposite effect). Use {{tlx|!xts}} for bad/wrong style {{!xts|with strikethrough formatting}}.
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
* {{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
