Template:RQ:Smith Sea Grammar/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Smith's work A Sea Grammar, with the Plaine Exposition of Smiths Accidence for Young Sea-men (1st edition, 1627). It 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 chapter – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:


 * As the epistle dedicatory is unpaginated, use 2 or page to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage. For example, if the URL is, specify 2. (The other chapters indicated above are also unpaginated, but the template is able to determine the URL.)


 * 2 or page, or pages – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
 * Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: 10–11.
 * You must also use pageref to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
 * You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.

After page 72, the next four pages are misnumbered 83 to 86; specify them as 73 to 76.


 * 3 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.
