 | __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__This is the template sandbox page for Template:Cite uscgll (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
Usage
This template creates a {{cite book}} citation to the USCG Light Lists, including volume title, page, and year, plus a reference to the URL on the USCG web site that currently has the PDF of the seven volumes.
Parameters
The template may be used in the form <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Light List, Volume I, Atlantic Coast, St. Croix River, Maine to Shrewsbury River, New Jersey (PDF). Light List. United States Coast Guard. 2009. p. 123. </syntaxhighlight> which will result in
Light List, Volume I, Atlantic Coast, St. Croix River, Maine to Shrewsbury River, New Jersey (PDF). Light List. United States Coast Guard. 2009. p. 123.
The first parameter is always unnamed and must be a single digit from 0 to 7, corresponding to the seven volumes of the Light List. Calling for Volume 0 yields a generic reference which ignores any page given. The second parameter is the year, and the third is the page number. Either or both of the year and the page may be omitted, like this <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> Light List, Volume I, Atlantic Coast, St. Croix River, Maine to Shrewsbury River, New Jersey (PDF). Light List. United States Coast Guard. 2009. or Light List, Volume I, Atlantic Coast, St. Croix River, Maine to Shrewsbury River, New Jersey (PDF). Light List. United States Coast Guard. p. 123. (note the blank || where the year would go) </syntaxhighlight>
It may also be used with named parameters:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> Light List, Volume I, Atlantic Coast, St. Croix River, Maine to Shrewsbury River, New Jersey (PDF). Light List. United States Coast Guard. 2009. p. 123. </syntaxhighlight> or in compact form <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> Light List, Volume I, Atlantic Coast, St. Croix River, Maine to Shrewsbury River, New Jersey (PDF). Light List. United States Coast Guard. 2009. p. 123. </syntaxhighlight>
