Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |part= – if a poem is divided into parts, specify the part number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • |stanza= or |stanzas= – the stanza number(s) quoted from in Arabic numerals. Separate the first and last number of a range with an en dash, like this: |stanzas=1–2.

  • |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets.
