Template:Xt/doc

Usage
Use this template (the name of which stands for "e x ample t ext") to change the given text to the serif typeface, in order to format examples of style, especially when using quotation marks or italics could be confusing. This template is used frequently in the Manual of Style when inline typeface changes are needed. (For style examples that break to their own line, use xt2).)

As with all templates, when the text, given as the template parameter, has any equals characters, prefix the text with 1 in order to ensure any equals signs in the given text are correctly interpreted as being part of the normal text.

Examples

 * What you write:




 * What you get:


 * Symbols for variables are normally italicized, and symbols for units of measurement are usually upright: for example, T = 293.15 K, m = 5.4 kg.

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