Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= or |subchapter= – if quoting from one of the chapters or subchapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

Parameter value	Result
|chapter=Advertisement 1	An Advertisement to the Reader: Prefixed to the First Edition, Put forth A.D. 1661
|chapter=Advertisement 2	An Advertisement about the Second Edition
|chapter=Absolute Rest	An Essay of the Intestine Motions of the Particles of Quiescent Solids. Where the Absolute Rest of Bodies is Called into Question
|subchapter=Advertisement	An Advertisement [this appears before the start of the above essay]

• As the advertisement prefixed to the 1st edition 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 is https://archive.org/details/b30332606/page/n14/mode/1up, specify |page=14. (The other two advertisements are also unpaginated, but the template is able to determine the URL.)
• If quoting from the essay on the absolute rest of bodies, |chapter=Absolute Rest must be specified as the pagination of the essay restarts from 1 in the work.

• |section= – the section number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the name of the part of the work quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

The pagination of the essay on the absolute rest of bodies restarts from 1.

• |2=, |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.
