This is used to show inline usage examples (not quotations or collocations) following a definition line. For collocations, use {{coi}}. See WT:USEX for some general guidelines regarding usage examples.

The template call {{uxi|...}} works identically to {{ux|....|inline=1}}. It is intended for usage examples that are short enough that the example, its transliteration (if needed) and any idiomatic or literal translations can all fit on a single line, separated by em dashes.

Parameters

|1=

The language code of the example to be shown, e.g. en for English; see WT:LANGLIST for the full list.

|2=

The example to be shown. It should not contain wikilinks.

|3=, |translation= or |t=

The English translation for examples on foreign entries.

|tr= or |transliteration=

The Latin transliteration for examples in non-Latin script.

|sc=

The script code, required for certain languages with multiple possible scripts; see Wiktionary:List of scripts for the full list.

|q=, |qN= or |qualifier=, |qualifierN=

To include a qualifier for the example. You can specify multiple qualifiers using q2=, q3=, etc.

|ref=

To include a reference or link to an originating external site.

|audio=

An audio file that contains the example sentence in spoken form.

|lit=

A literal translation.

|subst=

Substitutions to be applied to handle irregular transliterations in certain languages (e.g. Russian, Yiddish, Hindi). If specified, should be one or more substitution expressions separated by commas. Each substitution expression is of the form FROM//TO (FROM/TO is also accepted), where FROM is the source text as found in the example, and TO is the corresponding respelling in the source script (e.g. Cyrillic, Hebrew or Devanagari). The substitutions are applied in order and before transliteration. The idea is to phonetically respell words with irregular transliteration so that the transliteration comes out correctly, without the need to manually transliterate the entire example using |tr=. Note that FROM and TO are actually Lua patterns (see WT:LUA). This means, for example, that a hyphen in the source text needs to be "escaped" by writing it as %-. See below for an example of using this parameter. Other examples may be found in the documentation for {{usex}} and {{quote}}.

|noenum=

To use in unnumbered sections (not following a definition). It may start the line following the definition or may be prefixed by "#:" for visual aesthetics.

|sort=

Sortkey. Add this only when the sortkey cannot be generated from the entry name.

Usage examples are normally preceded by "#:", or by "#*" or "#*:" to hide the usage example (normally used for direct quotes).
