Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Joseph Washington's translation of John Milton's work Defensio pro Populo Anglicano, entitled A Defence of the People of England, by John Milton: In Answer to Salmasius's Defence of the King (1st edition, 1692).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |chapter= –
    • If quoting from the main text of the work, the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals.
    • If quoting from another part of the work, the name of the chapter, like this: |chapter=To the English Reader and |chapter=The Author's Preface. As the chapter "To the English Reader" is not paginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=mDTfczjo4mwC&pg=PP9, specify |page=9.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11 or |pages=x–xi.
    • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.
  • |3=, |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.
