Usage

edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collected edition of George Herbert's works entitled The Complete Works in Verse and Prose of George Herbert (1st edition, 1874) edited by Alexander Balloch Grosart. The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library:

If a quotation template exists for a specific work (for example, {{RQ:Herbert Temple}}), use that template instead of this one.

Parameters

edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |volume=mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=I to |volume=III.
  • |2= or |chapter=mandatory: the name of the chapter quoted from. If the parameter is given the value indicated in the first column of the following table, the template will display what is indicated in the second column:
Herbert's Complete Works

Volume III
Life The Life of Mr George Herbert. [] page 3

For help with adding other chapters to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".
  • |section= – a section of the work quoted from.
  • |3= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) to be quoted from. If a page number is in Roman numerals, use lowercase. 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 or |pages=x–xi.
    • 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.
  • |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of line numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash.
  • |4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
  • |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.
