Usage edit

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert Boyle's work Some Motives and Incentives to the Love of God, often known by its running head Seraphick Love (1st edition, 1659). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |chapter= – if quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column (the main part of the work is not divided into chapters):
Parameter value Result
Advertisements Advertisements to the Reader. (As They were Written Some Years since, when Some Intelligent Persons were to have a Sight of the Following Discourse.)
Another Advertisement Another Advertisement. Given by a Friend of the Author’s, to the Philosophicall Readers. (By an anonymous author.)
Epistle Dedicatory To the Countesse of Warwick (Boyle's sister)
As the above chapters are unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=8yNlAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP7, specify |page=7.
  • |1= 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.
