Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert Boyle's work Some Considerations Touching the Usefulnesse of Experimental Naturall Philosophy (1st edition, 1663). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |part= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the second part of the work, specify |part=2. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the first part.
• |title= – if quoting from one of the portions of the work indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

Parameter value	Result
Advertisement	The Author’s Advertisement about the Following Essays
The Publisher to the Reader	The Publisher to the Reader

As these portions are unpaginated, use |1= 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/nd11649549/page/n14/mode/1up, specify |page=14.

• |chapter= – if a portion of the work is subdivided into chapters, use this parameter to specify the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the chapter quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

The page numbers restart from 1 in the second part of the work.

• |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.
