Usage[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Philip Massinger and Thomas Dekker's work The Virgin Martyr (1631); the 1st edition (London: [] B[ernard] A[lsop] for Thomas Iones, 1622; →OCLC) is not currently available online. The template 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:

  • |1= or |page=mandatory: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive ("IA") to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/virginmartyrtrag00mass/page/n8/mode/1up, specify |page=8. This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the act number (I–V) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
  • |act=mandatory in some cases: in most cases, if the IA page number is specified the template can determine the act number quoted from. The template is unable to do so if page 40, 58, or 74 is quoted from, in which case |act= must be used to manually specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, for example, |act=II.
Act I
IA pages 8–22
Act II
IA pages 23–40
Act III
IA pages 40–58
Act IV
IA pages 58–74
Act V
IA pages 74–87
  • |scene= – the scene numbers are not clearly indicated in this work. If desired, use this parameter to specify the scene number quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals as ascertained from a different version of the work, for example, The Plays of Philip Massinger (1805, volume I).
  • |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment about 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.
