Template:Dlmf/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Dlmf.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Purpose

This template adds an external link to an article in http://dlmf.nist.gov, the Digital Library of Mathematical Functions.

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

{{dlmf
 | title=
 | id= 
 | last=
 | first=
 | author-link=
 | last2=
 | first2=
 | author2-link=
 | display-editors
 | ref=
}}

title (or article): Title of the article
id: The chapter number, which is part of the url. For example, chapter 5 http://dlmf.nist.gov/5 on the Gamma function would have id=5
last (or last1): The first author's surname or last name.
first (or first1): The first author's first or given name(s).
author-link (or author1-link): Title of an existing Wikipedia article about the first author.
last2, The second author's surname or last name, if applicable.
first2, The second authors' first or given name(s), if applicable.
author2-link: Title of an existing Wikipedia article about the second author, if applicable.
display-editors: Specify a number to shorten the displayed list of editors to that number, et al.

ref: the citation's HTML anchor identifier, when different from its default. When set, |ref=ID generates an anchor with the given ID (the id= attribute in the citation's <cite id="ID"> HTML tag). Setting |ref=ID identifies the template as a target and allows wikilinking to full references, especially useful with short-form citations like shortened notes and parenthetical referencing. The default anchor ID is suitable for use with {{sfn}} and {{harv}} templates. Since April 2020, the parameter / keyword pair |ref=harv has no special meaning; this deprecated setting should not be used and may be removed from existing cs1|2 templates. To inhibit anchor ID creation, set |ref=none. Aliases: none.

Examples and usage

{{dlmf|authorlink=Richard Askey|first=R. A.|last= Askey|first2= R.|last2= Roy |id=5 |title=Gamma function}}

produces

Askey, R. A.; Roy, R. (2010), "Gamma function", in Olver, Frank W. J.; Lozier, Daniel M.; Boisvert, Ronald F.; Clark, Charles W. (eds.), NIST Handbook of Mathematical Functions, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 978-0-521-19225-5, MR 2723248.

It is also possible to link to subsections, formulas, and so on, by changing the id parameter as follows:

id=2 links to Chapter 2
id= 2.3 links to section 2.3
id=2.3.iv links to subsection 2.3(iv)
id=2.3.E4 links to equation 2.3.4
id=2.10.F1 links to figure 2.10.1
id=2.5.T1 links to table 2.5.1

See http://dlmf.nist.gov/help/cite for more details.

The {{harv}} templates can be used to produce internal links to the citation in the usual way.
