Example text
Use template {{
xt2}} to format a style example (for example, on the
Manual of Style and its subpages) to be displayed on its own line, in green, in a serif font, and indented in block-quotation style. (Use 1=
before the argument if it contains equals signs.) For examples to be displayed inline within running text, use {{
xt}}. For bad/wrong examples, use {{
!xt2}} (or {{
!xt}} inline).

For nested quotations, use double quotes for the outermost level, single quotes for the next inner level, and continue alternating: {{xt2|The Dalai Lama stated in his book ''The Universe in a Single Atom'': "I am told that one of the greatest of all quantum theorists, Richard Feynman, wrote 'I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics', so at least I feel I am in good company."}}

What you get |
For nested quotations, use double quotes for the outermost level, single quotes for the next inner level, and continue alternating:

For blocks of code, such as template code, use {{xt2|1=<code>code here</code>}}
.
The parameter |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 block of text.

but uses mono-spaced font; this is a good template to use when the shaded box formatting of <code>...</code>
might be undesirable, or the
semantics of it is incorrect in the context{{
