Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Samuel Rogers's work An Epistle to a Friend, with Other Poems (1st edition, 1798). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Chapter or poem First page number
Preface page v
An Epistle to a Friend page 9
  • Notes and Illustrations
page 29
To a Friend on His Marriage page 39
A Farewell page 44
To the Gnat page 46
Verses Written to be Spoken by Mrs. [Sarah] Siddons (written c. 27 April 1795) page 48

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |note= – if quoting from the "Notes and Illustrations" to "An Epistle to a Friend", use this parameter to specify the note and verse numbers quoted from, like this: |note=I. Verse 25.
  • |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=10–11 or |pages=v–vi.
    • 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 determine the name of the poem or part of the work quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
  • |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.
  • |3=, |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.
