This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Ben Jonson's English translation of Horace's work Ars Poetica entitled Q. Horatius Flaccus: His Art of Poetry (1st edition, 1640); other works by Jonson are included. It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |part= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the "Epigrams", specify |part=Epigrams. The pagination of this part of the work restarts from page 95.
• |chapter= –
  • If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

As the above chapters marked with an asterisk (*) are unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/qhoratiusflaccus00hora_3/page/n16/mode/1up, specify |page=16. (The other chapters are also unpaginated, but the template can determine the URL.)

• If quoting from the "Epigrams", use this parameter to specify the name of the epigram.

• |stanza= – if quoting from the ode to Jonson by "I. C.", the stanza number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |1= or |page= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the part of the work quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• Page numbers 69–82 are repeated; the text is unaffected. When referring to the second set of page numbers, specify them as |page=69A to |page=82A.
• In the "Epigrams", the pagination restarts from page 95; the text is unaffected.

• |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.
• |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.
