Template:RQ:Spenser Astrophel/documentation

Usage
This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from 's work Astrophel. A Pastoral Elegie vpon the Death of the Most Noble and Valorous Knight, Sir Philip Sidney., which was first published in  (1st edition, 1595). 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:


 * sig or signature, – the signature of the leaf quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom of some leaves. 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 quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures F, verso – F2, recto", use sig or signature, and verso, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and sig_end or signature_end, and versoend, (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range.
 * 1 or page – mandatory in some cases: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter 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 37. The parameter must be used to have the template link to the online version of the work.
 * 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.
