Template:RQ:Bacon Miscellany/documentation
Usage
[edit]This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Francis Bacon's work Certaine Miscellany Works of the Right Honourable Francis Lo. Verulam, Viscount S. Alban (1st edition, 1629). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.
Parameters
[edit]The template takes the following parameters:
|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:
| Parameter value | Result | First page number |
|---|---|---|
| Henry VIII | The History of the Reigne of King Henry the Eighth | page 161 |
| Holy War or Holy Warre | An Advertisement Touching an Holy VVarre. […] | page 77 |
| Laws of England or Lawes of England | An Offer to Our Late Soueraigne King Iames, of a Digest to be Made of the Lavves of England | page 135 |
| To the Reader | To the Reader (by William Rawley) | unnumbered page |
| War with Spain or Warre with Spaine | Considerations Touching a VVarre vvith Spaine. […] | page 1 |
- Please note the following:
- If quoting from "To the Reader", as it is 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 ishttps://archive.org/details/certainemiscella00baco/page/n10/mode/1up, specify|page=10. - If quoting from other chapters, this parameter may be omitted if the page number is specified.
- If quoting from "To the Reader", as it is unpaginated, use
|1=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. 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. - 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).
- Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this:
- This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the name of the chapter quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
|2=,|text=, or|passage=– a passage quoted from the work.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto 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.
