The following documentation is located at Template:RQ:Milton Poems 1673/documentation. ^[edit]

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from John Milton's collected work Poems by Mr. John Milton (1673). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at the Internet Archive.

A table of contents along with a transcription of the text is available at the John Milton Reading Room website.

If a poem appears in {{RQ:Milton Poems}}, use that template instead of this one.

The template takes the following parameters:

|lang= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the Latin section of the work, specify |lang=la. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the English section.
|1=, |chapter=, or |poem= – mandatory: the name of the "chapter" or poem to be quoted. If quoting from one of the poems indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

|sonnet= – if quoting from one of the sonnets, the sonnet number in uppercase Roman numerals.
|2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) to be quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
- Separate the first and last page numbers 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 link to the online version of the work.

The pagination restarts from 1 in the Latin section of the work.

|line= or |lines= – the line number(s) of the work quoted. Separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash.
|3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
|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.
