Template:RQ:Etherege She Wou'd/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from George Etherege's work She Wou'd if She Cou'd (1st edition, 1668). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |scene= – mandatory: the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) to be 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 determine the act number quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |act= – mandatory in some cases: in most cases, if the page number is specified the template will determine the act number quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 14 or 72 is specified, in which case the act number must be specified in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=I.

Act I pages 1–14

Act II pages 14–29

Act III pages 30–54

Act IV pages 55–72

Act V pages 72–92

• |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.

Examples

• Wikitext:

  • {{RQ:Etherege She Wou'd|iii|48|{{...}} I'faith; how '''ſwimmingly''' would this pretty little / Ambling Filly carry a man of my body!}}
