	Documentation for Template:RQ:Orwell Burmese Days. ^[edit]
	This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from George Orwell's Burmese Days (1st edition, 1934), which is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Project Gutenberg Australia.

The template takes the following parameters:

|1= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
|2=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the work.
|format= – to link to an online version of the work at Project Gutenberg Australia, specify |format=PGA.
|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.
