Template:RQ:Robert Browning Pacchiarotto/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert Browning's work Pacchiarotto and How He Worked in Distemper: With Other Poems (1st edition, 1876). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1=, |chapter=, or |poem= – mandatory: the name of the "chapter" or poem quoted from. If quoting from a poem indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

Pacchiarotto and How He Worked in Distemper: With Other Poems

Parameter value	Result	First page number
At the Mermaid	At the ‘Mermaid’	page 47
Pisgah-sights 1	Pisgah-sights. 1.	page 75
Pisgah-sights 2	Pisgah-sights. 2.	page 78
Prologue	Prologue	page 1

• |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) 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 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.
