Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert Boyle's work Tracts []. About the Cosmicall Qualities of Things. Cosmicall Suspitions. The Temperature of the Subterraneall Regions. The Temperature of the Submarine Regions. The Bottom of the Sea. To which is Præfixt, an Introduction to the History of Particular Qualities. (1st edition, 1671). It 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 |title=mandatory: if quoting from one of the titles indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
Parameter value Result
Advertisement Advertisement (after the Three Tracts title page)
Cosmicall Qualities Of the Systematicall or Cosmicall Qualities of Things
Cosmicall Suspitions Cosmicall Suspitions (Subjoyned as an Appendix to the Discourse of the Cosmicall Qualities of Things)
Publisher Advertisement An Advertisement of the Publisher to the Reader (by H. O.)
Qualities An Introduction to the History of Particular Qualities
Sea Bottom Relations about the Bottom of the Sea
Submarine Temperature Of the Temperature of the Submarine Regions, as to Heat and Cold
Subterraneal Temperature Of the Temperature of the Subterraneal Regions, as to Heat and Cold
  • As the "Advertisement of the Publisher to the Reader" is unpaginated, use |3= 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/tracts00boyl/page/n6/mode/1up, specify |page=6. (The "Advertisement" is also unpaginated but the template is able to determine the URL.)
  • The title of the work quoted from must be specified as the pagination restarts from 1 in each title.
  • |2= or |chapter= – the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
  • |3= 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, in "Relations about the Bottom of the Sea", the section (1st–3rd) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
  • |4=, |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.
