Documentation for Template:RQ:Beaumont Fletcher Comedies and Tragedies. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from the first and second folios of Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher's plays, entitled Fifty Comedies and Tragedies (1st folio, 1647; 2nd folio, 1679), which were written by Beaumont, Fletcher, and other playwrights. It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

Where a quotation template for a specific play exists (for example, {{RQ:Beaumont et al Thierry and Theodoret}}), use that template instead of this one.

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

1st folio (1647)
  • |url=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from an unpaginated page, use this parameter to manually specify the URL of the webpage that the template should link to, like this: |url=https://archive.org/details/BeaumontFletcher1647/page/n447/mode/1up. This parameter must be specified for the template to link to the online version of the work.
2nd folio (1679)
  • |folio=mandatory: if quoting from the 2nd folio, specify |folio=2nd.
  • |part=mandatory in some cases: the work is notionally divided into two parts. The first part has page numbers from 1 to 578, and in the second part (starting with the play The Queen of Corinth) the page numbers restart at 1 and run to 557. To quote from the second part of the work, specify |part=2. If this parameter is omitted the template defaults to the first part of the work.
Both folios
  • |1= or |title=mandatory: the title of the play quoted from, as follows:

  • |2= or |act=mandatory: the act number of the play quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • |3= or |scene=mandatory: the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
  • |section=Four Plays in One is divided into the following sections: the Induction, The Triumph of Honor, The Triumph of Love, The Triumph of Death, and The Triumph of Time. However, these are not clearly indicated in this work. If desired, consult this 1812 edition to determine the section and use |section= to specify the section, and |scene= to specify the scene quoted from.
  • |4= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. Note the following:

1st folio:

  • The pagination is erratic and restarts from page 1 eight times. If the title of the play quoted from is specified, the template is able to determine the correct page to link to.
  • The prologue of The Fair Maid of the Inn is on an incorrectly repeated page 50. If quoting this page, specify "50A".

2nd folio: in the first part, the page numbers 279 and 280 are repeated. Specify "279A" and "280A" to quote the second occurrences of those page numbers.

If using |pages= to quote 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).
This parameter must be specified for the template to link to an online version of the work.
  • |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. When referring to a passage that spans both columns, either omit the parameter or use an en dash like this: |columns=1–2.
  • |5=, |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.
