Usage
[edit]This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Philip Massinger's work The Bond-man (1st edition, 1624). 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 a part of the work other than the play, specify the parameter value indicated in the first column of the following table to have the template display the chapter name indicated in the second column:
| Parameter value | Result |
|---|---|
| Epistle Dedicatorie | To the Right Honourable, My Singular Good Lord, Philip Earle of Mountgomery, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, &c. |
| WB | The Authors Friend to the Reader (by W. B.) |
- As the work is unpaginated, use
|2=or|page=to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive ("IA") to the URL of the webpage to be linked to, as explained below. (The dedication by W. B. is also unpaginated, but the template can determine the URL.)
|1=or|scene=– mandatory: the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.|2=or|page=– mandatory in some cases: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the IA to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL ishttps://archive.org/details/bondmanantientst00mass/page/n14/mode/1up, specify|page=14. 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 IA page number quoted from is specified, the template can determine the act number of the play. However, the template is unable to do this if IA page 31, 46, or 62 is quoted from. In these cases, use this parameter to specify the act number of the play in uppercase Roman numerals, like this:|act=I.
| Act I IA pages 14–31 |
Act II IA pages 31–46 |
Act III IA pages 46–62 |
Act IV IA pages 62–76 |
Act V IA pages 77–93 |
|sig=or|signature=, and|verso=–|sig=or|signature=can be used to specify the signature number quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom centre of some pages. If quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify|verso=1or|verso=yes; if|verso=is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted.- If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signature B, verso – B2, recto", use
|sig=or|signature=, and|verso=, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and|sigend=or|signatureend=, and|versoend=, (if required) to specify the signature at the end of the range. - If this parameter is omitted, the template links the URL of the online version of the work to the chapter name if specified, or to the act and scene numbers.
- If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signature B, verso – B2, recto", use
|3=,|text=, or|passage=– the passage to be quoted.|footer=– a comment about 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.
