This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Richard Brome's work Five New Playes (1st edition, 1653). It may be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1=, |chapter=, or |play= – mandatory: the name of the "chapter" or play quoted from. If quoting from one of the chapters or plays indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

• |subchapter= – if quoting from the prologue or epilogue of a play, use this parameter to specify it as indicated below:

• |2= or |page= – mandatory: as the work is not paginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive ("IA") to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/fivenewplayesviz00brom_0/page/n18/mode/1up, specify |page=18. This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the act number quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
• |act= – mandatory in some cases: in most cases, if the page number is specified the template will determine the the act number quoted from, as shown below. However, it is unable to do so if certain pages are specified, in which case the act number must be manually specified in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=I.

• |scene= – mandatory: the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
• |sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – |sig= or |signature= can be used to specify the signature number quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom centre of some pages. If quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if |verso= is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted.
  • If a signature number is not indicated on a page, extrapolate it from the signature numbers before and after the page and enclose it in brackets using [ and ] For example, if the previous signature number is A3 and the next one is B, specify the missing signature number as |sig=[A4]: see the example below.
  • If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures B, verso – B2, recto", use |sig= or |signature=, and |verso=, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and |sigend= or |signatureend=, and |versoend=, (if required) to specify the signature at the end of the range.
  • If this parameter is omitted, the template links the URL of the online version of the work to the chapter, or to the act and scene numbers.
• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment about the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
