Template:RQ:Ovid Epistles/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from a translation of 's work ', and the ' (of uncertain authorship but often attributed to Ovid), by various authors entitled Ovid's Epistles (2nd edition, 1681); the 1st edition (London: Jacob Tonson, 1680;  ) 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:


 * 1, chapter, or epistle – mandatory: the epistle number quoted from in Arabic numerals, from 1 to 24 (the epistle titles are listed in the following table). If quoting from the preface, specify Preface.


 * As the preface is unpaginated, use 2 or page to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. Thus, if the URL is, specify 9. This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.


 * 2 or page, or pages – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the main part of the work, the page or range of pages 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 link to the online version of the work.


 * 3, 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.
