Template:Gutenberg Australia/doc

This template is for linking books or authors at Project Gutenberg Australia (PGAU).

Usage

• Step 1: Find the author ID at the PGAU website http://gutenberg.net.au
  • Go to either http://gutenberg.net.au/plusfifty-a-m.html (A-M) or http://gutenberg.net.au/plusfifty-n-z.html (N-Z) depending on the first letter of the last name of the author in question.
  • In a browser, do a "View page source" to show the HTML. Search on the author's name and find the "id" parameter.

For example for Charles Dickens the HTML looks like this:

<td><a name="dickensc" id="dickensc"></a><b>Charles DICKENS (1812-1870)</b>

The ID is dickensc

• Step 2A: If linking to a book..
  • Create the template like this:

{{Gutenberg Australia |id=plusfifty-a-m.html#dickensc |name=Tale of Two Cities}}

The id is now composed of the "plusfifty-a-m.html" + "#" + "dickensc"

The name is the title of the book

• Step 2B: If linking an author..
  • Create the template like this:

{{Gutenberg Australia |id=plusfifty-a-m.html#dickensc |name=Charles Dickens |author=yes}}

The id is the same as when linking to a book (above), but also include the argument author=yes

The name is the author's name

Arguments

• id: the id at PGAU website. See "Usage" above for how to determine.
• name: The name of the author, or the title of the book. Can be anything doesn't have to match the Wikipedia page or the PGAU website.
• author: Set to "yes" ie. author=yes if name is an author's name. Don't use if name = book title.
• coda: A text string that follows the template.

For example this {{Gutenberg Australia |id=plusfifty-a-m.html#dickensc |name=Tale of Two Cities |coda=(Third American edition)}} will produce:

Tale of Two Cities at Project Gutenberg Australia (Third American edition)

Notes

• The PGAU website has no page for individual book titles, the only way to link is to a sub-section of a longer page.
