{{Template shortcut|hl}}
For adding yellow highlight to specified 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>{{hilite | 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"
|-
