Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy (1st edition, 1621; 2nd edition, 1624; and 5th edition, 1638). It can be used to link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

1st edition (1621)
  • |1= or |chapter= – the title of the "chapter" or most specific portion (partition, section, member, or subsection) quoted from. If quoting from "Democritus Iunior to the Reader", specify |chapter=To the Reader.
  • |5= 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).
You must specify this information to have the template link to an online version of the work.

"Democritus Iunior to the Reader" and the main part of the work are both paginated starting from page 1. If quoting from the former, specify |chapter=To the Reader as indicated above.

2nd edition (1624)
  • |edition= – mandatory: if quoting from the 2nd edition (1623) of the work, specify |edition=2nd. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1621).
  • |5= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • |6= or |url=, or |pageref= – mandatory in some cases: as the page numbering of the 2nd edition is erratic, you must either:
    • use |6= or |url= to specify the URL of the webpage quoted from, like this: |url=https://archive.org/details/2319035R.nlm.nih.gov/page/n8/mode/1up; or
    • use |pageref= to specify the page number assigned by the Internet Archive to the webpage quoted from. For example, if the URL of the webpage to be linked to is https://archive.org/details/2319035R.nlm.nih.gov/page/n8/mode/1up, specify |page=8.
This information must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
5th edition (1638)
  • |edition= – mandatory: if quoting from the 5th edition (1638) of the work, specify |edition=5th. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1621).
  • |5= 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).
You must specify this information to have the template link to an online version of the work.
All editions
  • |1= or |chapter= – the title of the "chapter" or most specific portion (partition, section, member, or subsection) quoted from.
  • |2= or |partition= – the partition quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |partition=1, |partition=2 or |partition=3.
  • |3= or |section= – the section quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |4= or |member= – the member quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |subsection= – the subsection quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |7=, |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.
