| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Google books. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| This template is used on approximately 9,900 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
Contents
Usage
{{Google books|id|title|page=|keywords=|text=|plainurl=}}
The page, keywords, text, and plainurl parameters are all optional.
The |id= parameter is the string of twelve characters found in the specific Google Books URL after "id=" but before "&".
The |title= parameter is used to specify the publication title when used as a link (and not as a bare URL; |title= is not useful when |plainurl= is used).
The |page= parameter may be used to link to a particular normal (PA) page number. |pg= can be used for "special" pages, e.g. |pg=PR1 for the page numbered "i" or |pg=PP2 for an inside cover (check the specific circumstances as appropriate for the latter as they vary from book to book).
The |keywords= parameter may be used to search for particular keywords within the text (corresponding to the q parameter in the Google URL); |text= searches for a quoted phrase (corresponding to the dq parameter in the Google URL).
The |plainurl= parameter tells the template to output a URL (web address) only, rather than a linked book title and page number. Use |plainurl=yes when using this template in a |url= parameter of a citation template. |plain-url= works as an alias.
In many cases when converting an existing Google Book URL, only one of the above should be used. When multiple parameters are present, the final target page is much more likely to vary over time. If linking to a specific page, only use the page parameter, and if doing a text search then do not include the page parameter.
For external links, the following all do the same thing:
{{Google books|id=id|title=title}}{{Google books|1=id|2=title}}{{Google books|id|title}}
For URLs, the following all do the same thing:
{{Google books|id=id|plainurl=yes}}{{Google books|1=id|plainurl=yes}}{{Google books|id|plainurl=yes}}
Example 1:
Doe, John. {{Google books|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|History of the Western Insurrection}}
creates
- Doe, John. History of the Western Insurrection at Google Books.
Example 2:
Doe, John. {{Google books|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|History of the Western Insurrection|keywords=blood}}
creates
- Doe, John. History of the Western Insurrection at Google Books.
Example 3:
Doe, John. {{Google books|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|History of the Western Insurrection|page=42}}
creates
- Doe, John. History of the Western Insurrection, p. 42, at Google Books.
Example 4:
{{cite book|last=Doe|first=John|title=History of the Western Insurrection|url={{Google books|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|page=42|plainurl=yes}}|page=42}}
creates
- Doe, John. History of the Western Insurrection. p. 42.
Example 5:
Doe, John. {{Google books|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|History of the Western Insurrection|page=42|text=Perhaps bloodshed might have been avoided.}}
creates
- Doe, John. History of the Western Insurrection, p. 42, at Google Books.
Example 6:
Doe, John. {{Google books|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|History of the Western Insurrection|pg=PP2}}
creates this which links to the bookplate on the inside cover
- Doe, John. History of the Western Insurrection at Google Books.
Example 7:
Doe, John. {{Google books|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|History of the Western Insurrection|pg=PR1}}
creates this which links to the title page complete with inscriptions
- Doe, John. History of the Western Insurrection at Google Books.
