Template:RQ:Chapman Comedies and Tragedies/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from the following four of George Chapman's works (and one work formerly incorrectly attributed to Chapman) appearing in an online version of an 1873 republication of the works at Google Books:

• The Widdowes Teares (1st edition, 1612).
• The Memorable Maske of the Two Honourable Houses or Innes of Court; the Middle Temple, and Lyncolns Inne (1st edition, 1613).
• Caesar and Pompey (1st edition, 1631).
• The Tragedy of Alphonsus Emperour of Germany (1st edition, 1654).
• Revenge for Honour (1st edition, 1654), by Henry Glapthorne, formerly wrongly attributed to Chapman.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |title= – mandatory: the title of the work quoted from, as follows:

Value	Result
Widow's Tears	The VViddovves Teares: A Comedie. […]
Memorable Maske	The Memorable Maske of the Two Honorable Houses or Innes of Court; the Middle Temple, and Lyncolns Inne. […]
Caesar and Pompey	Caesar and Pompey: a Roman Tragedy, Declaring Their VVarres. […]
Tragedy of Alphonsus	The Tragedy of Alphonsus Emperour of Germany: […]
Revenge for Honour	Revenge for Honour. A Tragedie.

• |act= – the act number of the play quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |scene= – the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) of the work. 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=110–111.
  • 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).

If this parameter is omitted, the template will not link to the online version of the work.

• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |4=, |t=, or |translation= – a translation of the passage into contemporary English.
• |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.
