This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Ben Jonson's work Every Man out of His Humour (first performed 1599) as it was published in the First Quarto (1600), and as it appears in The Works of Benjamin Jonson (1st folio, 1616). The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:
The template takes the following parameters:
|chapter=
– the name of a part of the work other than the main part, such as the list of characters or actor names.|3=
or |page=
– mandatory in some cases: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter 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/comicallsatyreof00jons_0/page/n2/mode/1up
, specify |page=2
. This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.|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.
[
and ]
For example, if the previous signature number is A iij and the next one is B, specify the missing signature number as |sig=[A iiij]
.|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.|part=
– the name of a part of the work other than the main part, such as the epistle dedicatory. If quoting from the dramatis personae, specify |part=Dramatis Personae
.|3=
or |page=
, or |pages=
– mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
|pages=81–82
.|pageref=
to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).|1=
or |act=
, and |2=
or |scene=
– mandatory: the act and scene numbers quoted from in uppercase and lowercase Roman numerals respectively, like this: |act=I
, |scene=i
.|4=
, |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.{{RQ:Jonson Every Man out of His Humour|act=I|scene=ii|sig=D|verso=1|page=33|passage=Gods pretious, come away man, what do you mean? and you knew him as I do, you'''’ld''' ſhun him, as you'''’ld''' do the plague?}}
