Template:RQ:Dryden Lee Oedipus/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from and 's work Oedipus: A Tragedy (1st edition, 1679). It may be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * chapter – if quoting from the preface, prologue, or epilogue, specify Preface, Prologue, or Epilogue respectively. As these chapters are unpaginated, use 1 or page 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 8.
 * 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 numbers 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 (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 the act number quoted from. It is unable to do so if page 17, 29, 47, or 65 is quoted from, in which case the act number must be manually specified 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.
