Usage
[edit]This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Dryden's work The State of Innocence, and Fall of Man (1st edition, 1677). 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 a chapter of the work indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
| Parameter value | Result |
|---|---|
| Apology | The Authors Apology for Heroique Poetry; and Poetique Licence |
| Epistle Dedicatory | To Her Royal Highness, the Dutchess |
| Lee | To Mr. Dryden, on His Poem of Paradice |
- As the above chapters are 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/stateofinnocence00dryd_0/page/n12/mode/1up, specify|page=12.
|1=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:- Separate the first and last page numbers 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 numbers of the range with an en dash, like this:
- This parameter must be specified 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 will determine the act number quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 15, 23, or 33 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, like this:|act=II.
| Act I pages 1–7 |
Act II pages 8–15 |
Act III pages 15–23 |
Act IV page 23–33 |
Act V pages 33–45 |
|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.
