Template:RQ:Suetonius Holland Caesars/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Philemon Holland's English translation of Suetonius's work De vita Caesarum entitled The Historie of Twelve Caesars Emperours of Rome (1st edition, 1606). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= – If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, specify the parameter value as indicated in the first column:

Parameter value	Result
Annotations	[Annotations on Suetonius's text.]
Epistle Dedicatorie	To the Right Honorable and Vertuous Ladie, the Ladie Harington
Julius Caesar Supplement	A Supplement to the Beginning of C. Iulius Ceasar Dictator (the first part of Julius Caesar's life by Suetonius is lost)
To the Readers	To the Readers

As the epistle dedicatory and the "Supplement to the Beginning of C. Iulius Ceasar" are unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=L2FoAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP9 specify |page=9. (Although "To the Readers" is also unpaginated, the template can determine the URL to be linked to. The annotations are paginated.)

• |section= – the section number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |column= or |columns= – if quoting from the annotations, use this parameter to specify the column number quoted from in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or use an en dash between the column numbers, like this: |columns=1–2.
• |1= 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).

You must specify this information to have the template determine the name of the chapter quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• Page numbers 32 and 33 are misprinted as 34 and 35. Specify the page numbers as |page=32 and |page=33.
• The pagination of the annotations restarts from 1.

• |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.
