Template:Thucydides
{{Thucydides|language|book|chapter|first section in range|last section in range}}
Link to Greek text of Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War at the Perseus Project by book, chapter, and section number. Sections are sometimes called lines. Adding the last section in a range does not change the link URL, since pages on Perseus include only one section.
The first parameter is language: gr or el for Greek, en for English.
Normally the template does not display the name of the author and the work.
| {{Thucydides|en}} | → | 1.1 | default book and chapter = 1.1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| {{Thucydides|en|2}} | → | 2.1 | book set; default chapter = 1 |
| {{Thucydides|en|2|3}} | → | 2.3 | book and chapter set |
| {{Thucydides|en|2|3|4}} | → | 2.3.4 | book, chapter, and section set |
| {{Thucydides|en|2|3|4|5}} | → | 2.3.4–5 | book, chapter, and section range set |
Ref in any parameter except the first adds the name of author and work.
| {{Thucydides|en|2|ref}} | → | Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War 2.1 |
|---|---|---|
| {{Thucydides|en|2|3|ref}} | → | Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War 2.3 |
| {{Thucydides|en|2|3|4|ref}} | → | Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War 2.3.4 |
| {{Thucydides|en|2|3|4|5|ref}} | → | Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War 2.3.4–5 |
Shortref in any parameter except the first produces a shortened version, for cases in which the template is used in multiple refs.
| {{Thucydides|en|2|shortref}} | → | Thucydides 2.1 |
|---|---|---|
| {{Thucydides|en|2|3|shortref}} | → | Thucydides 2.3 |
| {{Thucydides|en|2|3|4|shortref}} | → | Thucydides 2.3.4 |
| {{Thucydides|en|2|3|4|5|shortref}} | → | Thucydides 2.3.4–5 |
