Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from an anonymous English translation of Thomas Hobbes' work De Corpore (1655), entitled Elements of Philosophy, the First Section, Concerning Body (1st edition, 1656); no other sections were published. 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 part of the work entitled "Six Lessons to the Professors of the Mathematiques", specify |part=Six Lessons.
• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

Parameter value	Result
Epistle Dedicatory	The Authors Epistle Dedicatory, to the Right Honorable, My Most Honored Lord, William Earl of Devonshire
Epistle Dedicatory 2	To the Right Honourable, Henry Lord Pierrepont, Viscount Newarke, Earle of Kingstone, and Marquis of Dorchester (in "Six Lessons to the Professors of the Mathematiques")
Reader	The Authors Epistle to the Reader
Translator	The Translator to the Reader

As the above chapters are unpaginated, use |2= 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/b30335838/page/n12/mode/1up, specify |page=12.

• |para= or |paragraph= – the paragraph number quoted from.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine, in the main part of the work, the part number (1–4) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |3=, |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.
