Template:Cite EWD
Revision as of 20:54, 12 August 2011 by imported>Rp
This template is used, for instance, in the dining philosophers problem article, to refer to Edsger W. Dijkstra's collected notes (the "EWDs"), published by the University of Texas at Austin.
There is one required parameter: the EWD number.
The second, optional parameter specifies the title.
Example usage:
{{Cite EWD|1000}}[1]
{{Cite EWD|796a| Smoothsort – an alternative to sorting in situ }}[2]

Implementation
This template is implemented as an invocation of {{Cite book}}.
Bugs
This template currently breaks layout when used in a bulleted list: for instance
- item 1
- item 2: Dijkstra, Edsger W. Cooperating sequential processes (EWD-123). E.W. Dijkstra Archive. Center for American History, The University of Texas at Austin. (Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".xx/EWD123.PDF original; Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".xx/EWD123.html transcription)
- item 3
Also it should probably switch to named parameters and add a few, such as year, month, day, and selwritingspages.
