Template:RQ:Newton Chronology/documentation
Usage
[edit]This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Isaac Newton's work The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended (1st edition, 1728). It can be used to link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.
Parameters
[edit]The template takes the following parameters:
|1=or|page=, or|pages=– mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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=10–11or|pages=x–xi. - 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 the name of the chapter quoted from, and to 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=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.
