Template:RQ:Austen Lady Susan


Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Jane Austen's unfinished work Lady Susan (written c. 1794) which was published in A Memoir of Jane Austen (2nd edition, 1871) by her nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh. The template can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library.

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |letter=, and |lettername=Lady Susan is an epistolatory novel divided into letters. Use |letter= to specify the letter number in uppercase Roman numerals, and |lettername= to specify the name of the letter.
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: 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=203–204.
    • 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).
This parameter must be specified to have template link to an online version of the work.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the book.
  • |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.
