Template:RQ:Burke Sublime and Beautiful


Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Edmund Burke's work A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful (1st edition, 1757; 2nd edition, 1759). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1759), specify |edition=2nd.
  • |1=, |chapter=, or |section= – the name of the chapter or "section" (as the chapters are termed) quoted from.
  • |sectionnumber= – the chapter or "section" number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • |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=10–11.
    • 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 the template determine the part (I–V) of the work quoted from, and to 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.
