Remove sentence that was duplicated later in the paragraph (and made more sense in the 2nd instance)

New page

{{Documentation subpage|[[Template:xt]], [[Template:bxt]], [[Template:xtd]], [[Template:bxtd]], [[Template:!xt]] and [[Template:!bxt]]}}


==Usage==
Use template {{tlx|xt}} (the name of which stands for "e<strong>x</strong>ample <strong>t</strong>ext") in order to format examples of style, especially when using quotation marks or italics could be confusing. This changes the given text to {{xt|the serif typeface and green color}}. This template is used frequently in the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] when ''inline'' typeface changes are needed. For cases where the serif typeface is not desirable (e.g. in blocks of computer code), use {{tlx|bxt}}, which substitutes boldfacing. For style examples that break to their own line (e.g. paragraphs), use {{tlx|xt2}}. {{strong|This template is not for use as quotation markup in talk pages; use {{tlx|tq}} instead.}}

For examples of {{!xt|bad/wrong style, in red}}, use {{tlx|!xt}} (or {{tlx|!bxt}}) and {{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 {{tlx|xtn}} template is for {{xtn|neutral}} examples, and has no color change, but is otherwise identical to {{tnull|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}}.

As with all templates, when the text, given as the template parameter, has any equals characters ("="),
prefix the text with {{para|1}} in order to ensure any equals signs in the given text
are correctly interpreted as being part of the normal text.

The accompanying change in typeface to a serif typestyle, ({{xt|example text}}) is to make it fully accessible for those with color blindness.

The parameter {{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

===Examples===
;What you write:

:<code><nowiki>...for example, {{xt|1=''T'' = 293.15 K}}, {{xt|1=''m'' = 5.4 kg}}.</nowiki></code>

;What you get:

:...for example, {{xt|1=''T'' = 293.15 K}}, {{xt|1=''m'' = 5.4 kg}}.
