Template:Google Books URL/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Google Books URL. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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:
- Doe, John. History of the Western Insurrection. p. 42.
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.
