Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert Boyle's work The Origine of Formes and Qualities (1st edition, 1666). 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:

• |chapter= – if quoting from one of the chapters 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
Unpaginated chapters
Advertisements	Advertisements about the Ensuing II. Section
The Preface	The Preface
Proemial Discourse	The Prœmial Discourse to the Reader
The Publisher to the Ingenious Reader	The Publisher to the Ingenious Reader
Chapters that must be specified if page 250 is quoted from
Forms	Experiments, and Thoughts, about the Production and Reproduction of Forms
Bodies	Experimental Attempts about the Redintegration of Bodies

• For the chapters indicated as unpaginated in the above table, 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/bub_gb_cJM1CHr4bdwC/page/n6/mode/1up, specify |page=6.
• For the paginated parts of the work, in most cases if the page number is specified the template can determine the name of the chapter quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 250 is specified, in which case either |chapter=Forms or |chapter=Bodies must also be specified; the full names of those chapters are indicated in the above table.

• |subchapter= – the name of a subchapter quoted from.
• |section= – the section 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.

Page number 270 is not used; the text is unaffected.

• |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.
