Usage edit

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from James Robinson Planché's work The Pursuivant of Arms, or Heraldry Founded upon Facts (1st edition, 1852; and new edition, 1859). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the new edition (1859), specify |edition=new. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1852).
  • |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
  • |2= 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=x–xi.
    • 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 an online version of the work.
  • |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.

New edition (1859)
  • Wikitext: {{RQ:Planche Pursuivant of Arms|edition=new|chapter=Appendix|page=209|passage=Some heraldic writers extend the number of tinctures to seven, by the addition of sanguine or murrey, dark blood or mulberry-colour, and ''tenné'', '''tawny''', or orange-colour; while others who admit them into the catalogue declare them, at the same time, to be ''stainant'', or disgraceful; but, as I have stated in my notice of Abatements (p. 171), it is very improbable any one would bear arms so degraded; and the strongest proof that no such opinion with respect to these two colours existed in the days of chivalry is, that the livery colours of the house of York were murrey and blue, and that '''tawny''' was apparently much affected by the retainers of the nobility and Church dignitaries.}}
