Template:Herodotus/doc

{{Herodotus|language|book|chapter|first section in range|last section in range}}

Link to Greek text of Herodotus' Histories at the Perseus Project by book, chapter, and section number. Sections are sometimes called lines. Adding the last section in a range does not change the link URL, since pages on Perseus include only one section.

The first parameter is language: gr or el for Greek, en for English.

Normally the template does not display the name of the author and the work.

{{Herodotus|en}}	→	1.1	default book and chapter = 1.1
{{Herodotus|en|2}}	→	2.1	book set; default chapter = 1
{{Herodotus|en|2|3}}	→	2.3	book and chapter set
{{Herodotus|en|2|3|4}}	→	2.3.4	book, chapter, and section set
{{Herodotus|en|2|3|4|5}}	→	2.3.4–5	book, chapter, and section range set

Placing ref in any parameter after the second adds the name of author and work.

{{Herodotus|en|2|ref}}	→	Herodotus, Histories 2.1
{{Herodotus|en|2|3|ref}}	→	Herodotus, Histories 2.3
{{Herodotus|en|2|3|4|ref}}	→	Herodotus, Histories 2.3.4
{{Herodotus|en|2|3|4|5|ref}}	→	Herodotus, Histories 2.3.4–5

Placing shortref in any parameter after the second produces a shortened version, for cases in which the template is used in multiple refs.

{{Herodotus|en|2|shortref}}	→	Herodotus 2.1
{{Herodotus|en|2|3|shortref}}	→	Herodotus 2.3
{{Herodotus|en|2|3|4|shortref}}	→	Herodotus 2.3.4
{{Herodotus|en|2|3|4|5|shortref}}	→	Herodotus 2.3.4–5
