แม่แบบ:R:Johnson Dictionary/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections and on talk pages to format quotations from Samuel Johnson's work A Dictionary of the English Language (1st edition, 1755, 2 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• Volume I (A–K).
• Volume II (L–Z).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |entry= – the entry or headword in the work to be quoted from, which will be displayed in uppercase letters as in the work. To format the entry differently, specify |noformat=1 or |noformat=yes and use Wikitext to mark up the entry. If |entry= is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
• |chapter= – if quoting from one of the parts of the work indicated in the second column of the table below, use |chapter= with the value indicated in the first column:

Parameter value	Result
Preface	Preface
History	The History of the English Language
Grammar	A Grammar of the English Tongue

• |2= or |url= – mandatory in some cases: as the work is unpaginated, the URL of the website to be linked to must be manually specified, like this: |url=https://archive.org/details/b30451541_0001/page/n62/mode/1up. This parameter must be specified for the template to link to an online version of the work.
• |volume= – in most cases, the template should be able to automatically determine whether volume I or II of the work is quoted from. However, if the template is not indicating this correctly (for example, if the entry is a verb that begins with the word To, such as |entry=To ABA′LIENATE), use |volume= to manually specify the volume number in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II.
• |column= or |columns= – the column number(s) to be cited in Arabic numerals, either |column=1 or |column=2. When referring to a passage that spans both columns, either omit this parameter or use an en dash like this: |columns=1–2.
• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
• |nodot= – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use |nodot=1 or |nodot=yes.
