This template uses TemplateStyles:

Template:Talk quote inline/styles.css

Template {{talk quote inline with count}} (a.k.a. {{TQC}} or {{tqc}}) is used in talk pages to highlight a short excerpt of quoted material of other editors' comments or text from an article.

The template also provides a character count for the quoted text. This can be useful in talk page discussions about Short descriptions.

Usage

This template is not intended for use in articles, and displays an error message if it is used in the article namespace.

See {{talk quote inline}} for further details.

Parameters

|1= The text to highlight with the template. As with all templates, when the text, given as the template parameter, contains an equals character (=), prefixing the text with |1= is required to ensure the character is correctly interpreted as being part of the normal text; otherwise it will break the template.

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

|quotes=yes or |q=yes adds quotation marks around the coloured text.

Examples

{{tqc|Lorem ipsum '''dolor''' sit}} → Lorem ipsum dolor sit (27 characters)
{{TQC|consectetur adipiscing elit|i=yes}} → consectetur adipiscing elit (27 characters)
{{tqc|Lorem ipsum '''dolor''' sit|q=yes}} → Lorem ipsum dolor sit (27 characters)

Template parameters[Edit template data]
Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Text	`1`	Text to highlight	Content	required
Italic?	`italic` `i`	Makes the content italicised and the same san-serif font as normal text	Boolean	optional
Quotes?	`quotes` `q`	Adds quotation marks around the colored text	Boolean	optional

Template	Use / description
↓ Block quotations	General purpose
{{Blockquote}}	Our standard block quotation template: unbordered page-wide quotation with optional smaller-sized attribution
{{Break lines}}	Transforms line breaks into `<br />` tags. It is very similar to the {{poem}} template, except that it does not invoke the `<poem>` MediaWiki extension.
{{Numbered verses}}	Quote poems showing the verse numbers
{{Poem}}	{{Blockquote}} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of `<poem>` tags or frequent formatting elements (such as `<br />`); requires substitution
{{Poem quote}}	{{Blockquote}} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of `<poem>` tags or frequent formatting elements (such as `<br />`); does not require substitution
{{Poetically break lines}} (shortcut: {{pbl}})	Designed to format poetry simply and reliably; it differs from {{Poem quote}} in two significant ways: it does not add spacing around the poem that sets it apart as “block quote”, and it automatically provides hanging indentation when lines are so long that they wrap
{{Translated blockquote}}	Displays original language above and translated text below
{{Text and translation}}	Displays original language and translated text, one beside the other
{{Verse translation}}	Displays original language verse (defaults to italics) and translated verse (roman) side-by-side
{{Verse transliteration-translation}}	Like {{Verse translation}}, but with a transliteration separate from the original version
{{Quote inline}} (shortcut: {{qi}})	Inline quotation
{{Cquote}}	"centered quote" – Page-wide quote, between large quotation marks
{{Rquote}}	"reduced quote" – Quote between large quotation marks in a reduced floating area
{{Quote frame}}	Page-wide bordered quote
{{Quote box}}	Quote floated in a reduced bordered box
{{Tweet}}	For quoting directly from tweets. Automatically generates `{{Cite tweet}}` citation, or a custom reference can be provided.

↓ Talk page quoting	Not for use in articles nor the project space at all
{{Talk quote inline}} (shortcut: {{tq}}, {{tqq}}, {{tqi}}, or {{tqqi}})	Inline quotation for use on talk pages
{{Template:!xt}} (shortcut: {{Template:!xt}}, {{!tqq}}, {{!tqi}}, or {{!tqqi}})	Inline quotation for what someone didn't say but could have, or perhaps should have, said.
{{Talk quote block}} (shortcut: {{tqb}}, {{tq2}})	Block-style quotation for use on talk pages
{{Talk quote block minimalist}} (shortcut: {{tqbm}})	Minimalist version of above

↓ Alternative	For indenting non-quotations
{{Block indent}}	To indent an entire block of content (uses `<div>` and CSS margins)
{{Divbox}}	To frame messages or the example output of an article or template
