This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Fletcher and Philip Massinger's work The Elder Brother (1st edition, 1637). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |chapter= – if quoting from "Lectori", the prologue, or the epilogue, specify |chapter=Lectori, |chapter=Prologue, or |chapter=Epilogue.
  • |1= or |page=mandatory: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books ("GB") to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=v19iAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP11, specify |page=11. This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the act number (I–V) 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 can determine the act number quoted from, as shown below. However, it is unable to do so if page 23 or 34 is specified, in which case the act number must be manually specified in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=I.
Act I
GB pages 11–23
Act II
GB pages 23–34
Act III
GB pages 34–49
Act IV
GB pages 50–65
Act V
GB pages 66–77
  • |scene=mandatory in some cases: in most cases if the page number is specified, the template can determine the scene number quoted from. If it is unable to do so, the scene number must be manually specified in lowercase Roman numerals, like this: |scene=i.
  • |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 either links the URL of the online version of the work to the chapter name if one is specified, or to the act and scene numbers.
  • |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on 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.
