Template:RQ:pi:Sinhala Dighanikaya 1 quote/documentation
This template is used to quote a passage from one particular publication to demonstrate the existence of a Pali word. The passages are stored in Module:RQ:pi:Sinhala Dighanikaya 1, where the words are tagged by positive ID numbers; different passages have different numbering schemes. A quotation can be provided by an entry such as {{RQ:pi:Sinhala Dighanikaya 1 quote|2|ekam|10}}. The arguments mean use the quotation 'ekam' from page 2, and embolden the word tagged as number 10. The result of this invocation is:
- එකං සමයං භගවා අන්තරා ච රාජගහං අන්තරා ච නාළන්දං අද්ධානමග්ගප්පටිපන්නො හොති මහතා භික්ඛුසඞ්ඝෙන සද්ධිං පඤ්චමත්තෙහි භික්ඛුසතෙහි.
- ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā antarā ca rājagahaṃ antarā ca nāḷandaṃ addhānamaggappaṭipanno hoti mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṃ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi.

The additional parameter |brackets=on may be used 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.
