Documentation
This template is for use on Music publication pages; for Work pages, use the Template {{Pub}}.
This template scans the text of the first parameter of PubDatePlace for any four-digit year, and converts it into a link to "Category:YYYY publications". The page is simultaneously included in that category. Therefore, publications that have a date are categorized accordingly.
The template accepts four parameters:
- A four digit date or substitute, such as "0850" or "ca. 1550"; text is scanned for four-digit year
- Details about the publication, such as name of publisher and place of publication
- Manuscript (if appropriate), Edition, Volume, Revision
- format= (optional) – "invert" for inverted display; default is normal display.
Please always include the first three parameters; if the third parameter is not used, put in its place nonetheless.
Syntax:
- {{PubDatePlace|<text (scanned)>|<text (displayed as-is)>|<text (displayed as-is)>}}
Examples:
- {{PubDatePlace|1564|by Le Roy and Ballard in Paris|Volume 1}} – Publication date and place: 1564 by Le Roy and Ballard in Paris – Volume 1
- {{PubDatePlace|ca. 1450||Manuscript}} – Publication date and place: ca. 1450 – Manuscript
- {{PubDatePlace|1720|by George Halman in London, 278 pp., nos. 121-195|Volume 2a|format=invert}} –
- 2a – Published 1720 by George Halman in London, 278 pp., nos. 121-195.
This template sets a variable, "mse", to yes or no, depending on whether the third parameter is "Manuscript"; the variable is used by Template:MultiPubList later on the same page.
