New page

For adding yellow highlight to specified inline text. The highlight color can be changed, and the highlight can also be set to expire at a certain date. Please keep template usage to talk pages only.

=== Usage ===

<code><nowiki>{{highlight | text | color (optional) | expiration (optional) }}</nowiki></code>

'''Parameters'''
*'''text''' (parameter 1): Enter the text to be highlighted.

'''Optional parameters'''

These parameters are optional, but unused parameters must be separated by a pipe (see examples below):

*'''color''' (parameter 2): Colors may be specified by word (e.g., "red", "blue", "lightgreen") or in [[Web colors|hexadecimal]] format (e.g., "#FF0066", "#C0C0C0"). If no value is given for the color, the template defaults to yellow.

*'''expiration''' (parameter 3): Highlights may be set to expire on a certain date, which leaves the text as-is, but removes the highlight color. The expiration value can be specified in any format.

===Examples===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! code !! output !! notes
|-
| {{tlx|highlight| text }} || {{highlight | text }} || The default highlight color is yellow
|-
| {{tlx|highlight| text | lightblue }} || {{highlight | text | lightblue }} || The second parameter is the highlight color
|-
| {{tlx|highlight| text | lightblue | 2011-01-01 }} || {{highlight | text | lightblue | 2011-01-01 }} || This is not highlighted since 1 January 2011 is in the past
|-
| style="white-space:nowrap;" | {{tlx|highlight| text | lightblue | {{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY2}} }} || {{highlight | text || {{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY2}}}} || There is no highlighting on the expiration date ({{Purge|purge this page's server cache}} if today's date is not shown)
|-
| style="white-space:nowrap;" | {{tlx|highlight| text | #00FF00 | 1 January 2099 }} || {{highlight | text | #00FF00 | 1 January 2099 }} || This is highlighted since 1 January 2099 is in the future
|-
| {{tlx|highlight| text || January 1, 2099 }} || {{highlight | text || January 1, 2099 }} || Note the color parameter, left blank, is still represented<br> with a pipe (followed by the expiration parameter pipe)
