Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template, based on {{Google books}}, outputs a Google Books URL (web address) only, rather than a linked book title and page number. It is suitable for use in the |url= parameter of a citation template.

Usage[edit source]

{{GBurl|id|p=|dq=|q=}}

The p, dq, and q parameters are all optional.

The |id= parameter is the string of twelve characters found in the specific Google Books URL after "id=" but before "&".

The |p= parameter may be used to link to a particular page number. |page= works as an alias.

An alternative parameter |pg= can be used for "special" pages as well as ordinary pages. For example, |pg=PR1 for the page numbered "i", or |pg=PP2 for an inside cover (check the specific circumstances as appropriate for the latter as they vary from book to book). Because the |pg= parameter corresponds directly to the pg parameter in the Google URL, it can also be used for ordinary pages numbered with Arabic numerals; e.g., |pg=PA10 yields the same result as |p=10.

The |q= (alias |keywords=) parameter may be used to search for particular keywords within the text (corresponding to the q parameter in the Google URL). Enclose phrases in quotation marks (").

The |dq= (alias |text=) parameter searches for a quoted phrase (corresponding to the dq parameter in the Google URL). Enclose phrases in quotation marks (").

Example 1:

* {{cite book |last=Doe |first=John |title=History of the Western Insurrection |url={{GBurl|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|p=42}} |page=42 }}

creates:

Example 2:

{{cite book|last=Doe|first=John|title=History of the Western Insurrection|url={{GBurl|id=7ydCAAAAIAAJ|page=42}}|page=42}}

creates:

Doe, John. History of the Western Insurrection. p. 42. 

Example 3:

Doe, John. [{{GBurl|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|pg=PP2}} ''History of the Western Insurrection''].

creates this, which links to the bookplate on the inside cover:

Doe, John. History of the Western Insurrection.

Example 4:

Doe, John. [{{GBurl|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|pg=PR1}} ''History of the Western Insurrection''].

creates this, which links to the title page complete with inscriptions:

Doe, John. History of the Western Insurrection.
