This is a template to generate links to Project Gutenberg Australia ebooks and texts.

Examples

edit
  • {{Gutenberg Australia|no=ebooks01/0100101|name=To the Lighthouse}}

If there's a HTML version of the text (which is only sometimes the case), then add "html=yes",

  • {{Gutenberg Australia|no=ebooks02/0200991|name=Mrs. Dalloway|html=yes}}

Process

edit
  1. Go to the Project Gutenberg Australia web site.
  2. Look in the catalogue pages for the desired book.
  3. Get the "ebooks02/02345" part from the zip/txt file links.
  4. On the wikipedia page, put that ebooks02/02345 part as the "no" variable, and the book title in the "name".

Notes

edit

Project Gutenberg Australia doesn't have a separate web page for each book, just links in the big catalogue page, hence the zip and text file bits in this template, as opposed to a single page link in Template:Gutenberg.
