Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Michael Drayton's work Englands Heroicall Epistles as it appears in Poems (1613 and 1630 editions); the 1st edition (London: […] I[ames] R[oberts] for N[icholas] Ling, […], 1597; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

1613 edition

|1= or |folio=, and |verso= – mandatory in some cases: the work is numbered by folios rather than page numbers. The folio number is indicated on the top right corner of each recto (right-hand) page. Use |folio= to indicate the folio number, and if quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if |verso= is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted. If quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios 10, verso – 11, recto", note the following:
- Use |folio= and |verso= to specify the folio at the start of the range, and |folioend= and |versoend= (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range.
- In addition, use |folioref= and |versoref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit |versoend= and |versoref=.)

These parameters must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

Folio 41 (recto and verso) is missing from the work. If quoting from the text on this folio, use the 1630 edition instead.

1630 edition

|year= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1630 edition, specify |year=1630.
|1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
- Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=165–166.
- You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.

Both editions

|subtitle= – mandatory: the subtitle quoted from.
|2=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
|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.
