Template:RQ:Massinger Dekker Virgin Martyr/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from and Thomas Dekker's work  (1631); the 1st edition (London:  B[ernard] A[lsop] for Thomas Iones, 1622;  ) is not currently available online. The template 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 or page – mandatory: as the work is unpaginated, 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 8. 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 40, 58, or 74 is quoted from, in which case act must be used to manually specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, for example, II.


 * scene – the scene numbers are not clearly indicated in this work. If desired, use this parameter to specify the scene number quoted from in lowercase Roman numerals as ascertained from a different version of the work, for example, The Plays of Philip Massinger (1805, volume I).
 * 2, 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.
