Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from the first complete English translation of Dante Alighieri's work The Divine Comedy, entitled The Divina Commedia of Dante Alighieri (1st edition, 1802, 3 volumes), which was prepared by Henry Boyd. It may be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |volume=mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I, |volume=II, or |volume=III.
  • |2= or |canto=, or |chapter=
    • mandatory: if quoting from the main text of the work specify the canto number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. The numbers restart from I in each volume.
    • if quoting from some other part of the work (for example, "The Life of Dante from Leonardo Bruni" in volume I), use |chapter= to specify the name of the part.
  • |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • |3= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages 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=110–111.
    • 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 for the template to link to the online version of the work.
  • |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from in Arabic numerals. If quoting a range of numbers, separate the first and last number of the range with an en dash.
  • |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted from.
  • |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.
