Usage edit

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Roger L'Estrange's work Fables, of Æsop and Other Eminent Mythologists: With Morals and Reflections (1st edition, 1692). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

|section= – the work is divided into the following sections:
- The Life of Æsop.
- The Fables of Æsop, &c.
- The Fables of Barlandus, &c.
- The Fables of Anianus, &c.
- The Fables of Abstemius, &c.
- The Fables of Poggius.
- Miscellany Fables.
- A Supplement of Fables, out of Phædrus, Avienus, Camerarius, Neveletus, Apthethonius, Gabrias, Babrias, Abstemius, Alciatus, Boccalini, Baudoin, De la Fontaine, Æsope en Belle Humeur, Meslier, &c.

If quoting from the preface or The Life of Æsop, specify |section=Preface or |section=Life of Aesop respectively. The template will determine the other sections based on the page number. As the preface is unpaginated, use |3= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/fablesofsopoth00lest/page/n8/mode/1up, specify |page8=.

|chapter= – if quoting from The Life of Æsop, use this parameter to specify the chapter name.
|1= or |fablenumber= – the number of the fable quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
|2= or |fable= – the name of the fable quoted from.
|3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: 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 section of the work quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

Page numbers 137–144 are repeated; the text is unaffected. If quoting from the second set of numbers, specify them as |page=137A to |page=144A.

Page numbers 307–318 are not used; the text is unaffected.

|4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
|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.
