Template:RQ:Beaumont Fletcher Cupids Revenge/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher's work Cupid's Revenge (1st edition, 1615; and 3rd edition, 1635). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• 1st edition (1615).
• 3rd edition (1635).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 3rd edition (1635), specify |edition=3rd. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1615).
• |chapter= – if quoting from "The Printer to the Reader" in the 1st edition, specify |chapter=Printer.
• |scene= – if desired, the scene number in lowercase Roman numerals. As the scene numbers are not clearly indicated in the work, look them up in the version published in Henry Weber, editor, The Works of Beaumont and Fletcher (1812), volume XI, pages 383–499.
• |1= or |page= – mandatory: as this work is not paginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive ("IA") to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/cupidsreuengeasi00beau/page/n3/mode/1up, specify |page=3. This information must be specifed to have the template determine the act number (I–V) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
• |act= – mandatory in some cases: in most cases, if the page number is specified the template can determine the act number quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 20, 36, 51, or 70 (1st edition; 69 in the 3rd edition) is specified, in which case this parameter should be used to specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=I.

1st edition (1615)
Act I IA pages 4–20	Act II IA pages 20–36	Act III IA pages 36–51	Act IV IA pages 51–70	Act V IA pages 70–81
3rd edition (1635)
Act I IA pages 3–20	Act II IA pages 20–36	Act III IA pages 36–51	Act IV IA pages 51–69	Act V IA pages 69–80

• |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.
  • If a signature number is not indicated on a page, extrapolate it from the signature numbers before and after the page and enclose it in brackets using [ and ] For example, if the previous signature number is A3 and the next one is B, specify the missing signature number as |sig=[A4].
  • If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures A2, verso – A3, recto", use |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.
  • If this parameter is omitted, the template links the URL of the online version of the work to the chapter name if one is specified, or to the act and scene numbers.
• |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.
