Template:RQ:Marston Malcontent/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Marston's work  (1st and revised editions, 1604). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:


 * 1st edition (1604).
 * Revised edition (1604) – contains an "induction" written by, and other additions by Marston.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:


 * 1st edition (1604)
 * chapter – if quoting from a chapter indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:


 * sig or signature, and verso – as the work is unpaginated, 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;: see the example below.
 * If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures B, verso – B2, 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 name if one is specified, or displays it as a superscript link after the title of the work.
 * 2 or page – mandatory: use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive ("IA") 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 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 IA page number is specified the template can determine the act number quoted from. The template is unable to do so if page 44 or 56 is quoted from, in which case act must be used to manually specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, for example, III.


 * Revised edition (1604)
 * version – mandatory: if quoting from this edition, specify revised. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition.
 * chapter – if quoting from a chapter indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:


 * sig or signature, and verso – as the work is unpaginated, 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;: see the example below.
 * If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures [A], verso – A2, 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 name if one is specified, or displays it as a superscript link after the title of the work.
 * 2 or page – mandatory: use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive ("IA") to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is, specify 6. 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 IA page number is specified the template can determine the act number quoted from. The template is unable to do so if page 27, 37, 48, or 59 is quoted from, in which case act must be used to manually specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, for example, I.


 * Both editions
 * 1 or scene – mandatory: the scene number quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals.
 * 3, text, or passage – the passage to be quoted.
 * footer – a comment about 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.
