Documentation for Template:RQ:Dryden Miscellaneous Works. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from The Miscellaneous Works of John Dryden [] in Four Volumes (1760). It may be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

Wherever possible, use a quotation template relating to a specific work (for example, {{RQ:Dryden Virgil}}) instead of this template. Use this template only for works of Dryden which are otherwise difficult to find.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |volume=mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I, |volume=II, |volume=III, or |volume=IV.
  • |stanza= – if a poem is quoted, this parameter may be used to specify the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |2=, |chapter=, or |poem=mandatory: the name of the chapter or poem quoted from. Providing the parameter with a value indicated in the first column of the following table will produce the result indicated in the second column:

For help adding other poems to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".
  • |section= – the name of a section of a poem quoted from.
  • |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=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 link to an online version of the work.
  • |url= – if quoting a page with a number which is a Roman numeral, use this parameter to manually specify the URL to link to, like this: |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BPhdAAAAcAAJ&pg=PR3
  • |4=, |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.
