Template:RQ:Boyle Tracts Air/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert Boyle's work Tracts […] . Of a Discovery of the Admirable Rarefaction of the Air. New Observations about the Duration of the Spring of the Air. New Experiments Touching the Condensation of the Air by Meer Cold; and Its Compression without Mechanical Engins. The Admirably Differing Extension of the Same Quantity of Air Rarefied and Compressed. (1st edition, 1671). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= – if quoting from the advertisement, specify |chapter=Advertisement.
• |section= – a section of a title quoted from, like this: |section=experiment I.
• |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 title quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |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.
