Usage
[edit]This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from William Davenant's work Gondibert: An Heroick Poem (1st edition, 1651). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.
Parameters
[edit]The template takes the following parameters:
|chapter=– if quoting from one of chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
| Parameter value | Result | First page number |
|---|---|---|
| Answer | The Answer of Mr. Hobbes to Sr. Will. D’avenant’s Preface before Gondibert (by Thomas Hobbes (written 10 January 1650 [Julian calendar]) | page 52 |
| Cowley | To Sr Wil. D’avenant, upon His Two First Books of Gondibert, Finish’d before His Voyage to America (by Abraham Cowley) | page [67] |
| Waller | To Sr. Will. D’avenant, upon His Two First Books of Gondibert, Finish’d before His Voyage to America (by Edmund Waller | page [65] |
| Postscript | Post-script to the Reader | page 243 (only this page is numbered) |
| Preface | The Authour’s Preface to His Much Honour’d Friend Mr Hobs [i.e., Thomas Hobbes] (written 2 January 1650 [Julian calendar]) | page 1 |
- Apart from page 243, the rest of the postscript 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 ishttps://archive.org/details/gondibertheroick00dave/page/n321/mode/1up, specify|page=321.
|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).
- Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this:
- This parameter must be specified to have the template determine, in the main part of the work, the book number (1st–3rd) and canto number quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
- In the prefatory material, the commendatory poems by Waller and Cowley are unpaginated. Specify them as
|page=65and|page=66(Waller), and|page=67and|page=68(Cowley).- In the main part of the work, the pagination restarts from 1.
|canto=– mandatory in some cases: in most cases, in the main part of the work if the page number is specified the template can determine the canto number quoted from. If it is unable to do so, use this parameter to specify the canto number in Arabic numerals, like this:|canto=1.|stanza=– the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals, or|stanza=argumentif quoting from the argument at the start of each canto.|2=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=– use|brackets=onto 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.
