Template:RQ:Barnes Devil's Charter/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Barnabe Barnes's work The Devil's Charter (1st edition, 1607). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |act= – mandatory: the act number of the play quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, or |act=Prologus or |act=Epilogus:

Prologus

Act I

Act II

Act III

Act IV

Act V

Epilogus

• |2= or |scene= – mandatory: the scene number of the play quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
• |3= or |url= – mandatory in some cases: as the work is not paginated, the URL of the webpage of the online version of the work to link to must be manually specified, like this: |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Mm8nAAAAMAAJ&pg=PT5. This parameter must be specified for the template to link to the work.
• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |5=, |t=, or |translation= – a translation of the passage into contemporary English.
• |footer= – a comment about the passage quoted, preferably formatted using the {{small}} template.
• |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.
