Template:RQ:Cotgrave Dictionarie/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from 's work A Dictionarie of the French and English Tongues (1st edition, 1611). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * 1, chapter, or entry – the chapter, or entry or headword, in the work to be quoted from. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
 * 2 or page – mandatory in some cases: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is, specify 12. This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.
 * sig or signature, and verso – sig or signature can be used to specify the signature number quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom centre of some pages. If quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify 1 or yes; if verso is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted.
 * If a signature number is not indicated on a page, extrapolate it from the signature numbers before and after the page and enclose it in brackets using  and   For example, if the previous signature number is A3 and the next one is B, specify the missing signature number as &amp;#91;A4&amp;#93;.
 * If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures B, verso – Bij, recto", use sig or signature, and verso, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and sigend or signatureend, and versoend, (if required) to specify the signature at the end of the range.
 * If this parameter is omitted, the template links the URL of the online version of the work to the chapter or entry name.
 * column or columns – the column number(s) to be quoted from in Arabic numerals, either 1 or 2. When referring to a passage that spans both columns, use an en dash like this: 1–2.
 * 3, text, or passage – a passage to be quoted from the work.
 * footer – a comment on the passage quoted.
 * brackets – use 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.
