Module:template wrapper (sandbox)

This template fills out the following reference to a source:

Usage edit

The template is a wrapper around the Lua template wrapper. It is currently set up to use {{cite book}}. It sets the following parameters:

| first     = Clark A 
| last      = Elliott
| first2    = Sally Gregory 
| last2     = Kohlstedt
| date      = 1979
| title = Biographical Dictionary of American Science: The Seventeenth Through the Nineteenth Centuries
| location  = Westport and  London
| publisher = Greenwood Press
| isbn      = 978-0-313-20419-7

So without any parameters:

{{Cite BDAS1979}}

the following is displayed:

Elliott, Clark A; Kohlstedt, Sally Gregory (1979). Biographical Dictionary of American Science: The Seventeenth Through the Nineteenth Centuries. Westport and London: Greenwood Press. ISBN 978-0-313-20419-7.

Pre-set parameters can be overwritten. For example publisher:

{{Cite BDAS1979|publisher=Green Dog}}

Elliott, Clark A; Kohlstedt, Sally Gregory (1979). Biographical Dictionary of American Science: The Seventeenth Through the Nineteenth Centuries. Westport and London: Green Dog. ISBN 978-0-313-20419-7.

Any other parameter that can be set in {{cite book}} can be set with this template. For example chapter and page:

{{Cite BDAS1979 |chapter=Black Beard |page=73}}

Elliott, Clark A; Kohlstedt, Sally Gregory (1979). "Black Beard". Biographical Dictionary of American Science: The Seventeenth Through the Nineteenth Centuries. Westport and London: Greenwood Press. p. 73. ISBN 978-0-313-20419-7.
