Template:RQ:Lyly Endymion

The spelling has been modernized.

The following documentation is located at Template:RQ:Lyly Endymion/documentation. ^[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Lyly's work Endimion, The Man in the Moone (1st edition, 1591). As it is not currently available online, the template can be used to create a link to an online version of an 1894 republication of the work at the Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

|1= or |scene= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the main part of the work, the scene number quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
|2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. 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 or |pages=x–xi.
- 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 part of the work quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

|act= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the main part of the work, if the page number is specified in most cases the template can determine the act number (I–V) quoted from. It is unable to do so if page 22, 39, or 60 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the act number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=I.
|line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.
|3=, |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.
