Template:RQ:Davenant Wits/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from 's work The Wits: A Comedie (1st edition, 1636) as it appears in ''Two Excellent Plays: The Wits, a Comedie: The Platonick Lovers, a Tragi-comedie. Both Presented in Black-friers, by His Majesties Servants.'' (1665); the 1st edition (London: Richard Meighen,, 1636;  ) is not currently available online. The template 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 chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:


 * As the prologue and "To the Reader" 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, specify 14. (The dedication is also unpaginated but the template is able to determine the URL.)


 * 1 or page, or pages – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
 * Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: 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 determine the act number (I–V) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.


 * act – mandatory in some cases: in most cases, if the page number is specified the template can determine the act number of the play quoted from. It is unable to do so if page 14, 35, 48, or 69 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: I.


 * 2, text, or passage – the passage to be quoted.
 * 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.
