Documentation for Template:RQ:Milton Animadversions. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Milton's work Animadversions upon the Remonstrants Defence, against Smectymnuus (1st edition, 1641; and published in A Complete Collection of the Historical, Political, and Miscellaneous Works of John Milton (1st edition, 1698, volume I)). The template can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1698 edition, specify |edition=1698. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1641).
  • |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from.
  • |1= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) of the work. If using |pages= to quote a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=139–140.
    • 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 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.
