Usage

[edit]

This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Robert South's work Five Additional Volumes of Sermons Preached upon Several Occasions (1st edition, 1744, 5 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |1= or |volume=mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |volume=VII to |volume=XI.
  • |2= or |sermon=mandatory: the sermon number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. The number starts from I in each volume.
  • |chapter= – the name of the "chapter" or sermon quoted from, or the Bible verse that the sermon is based on.
  • |date=, or (|month= and) |year= – if the date of the sermon quoted from is known, use |date= to specify it; the date will be converted from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. Alternatively, if only the month and/or year, or year only, is known, use |month= and/or |year= to specify it.
  • |3= 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 numbers 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 link to an 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.
