Template:RQ:Milton Of Prelatical Episcopacy/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Milton's work Of Prelatical Episcopacy, and Whether It may be Deduc’d from the Apostolical Times by Virtue of Those Testimonies which are Alledg’d to that Purpose in Some Late Treatises; […] (June or July 1641) as it appears in A Complete Collection of the Historical, Political, and Miscellaneous Works of John Milton (1698, volume I); the 1st edition (London: […] R[ichard] O[ulton] & G[regory] D[exter] for Thomas Underhill, […], 1641; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) of the work. If using |pages= to quote a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=239–240.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

• |2=, |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.
