Template:Hefferon Linear Algebra/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a specific-source template for the textbook Linear Algebra by Jim Hefferon. Transcluding specific-source templates rather than writing out citations reduces code duplication across articles and allows improvements — such as adding a zbMATH number or wikilinking the name of an author or editor — to apply to all uses of the source at once.

Parameters

[edit]
|page=, |pages=, |no-pp=, |at=, |chapter=, |quote=, |quote-page=, |quote-pages=, |ref=, |mode=, |postscript=, |date=, |isbn=, ...
{{Hefferon Linear Algebra}} is a template wrapper around {{cite book}}. Any CS1/CS2 parameter may be given to {{Hefferon Linear Algebra}}, which will pass the parameter to the underlying template.

Citing a different edition

[edit]

This template defaults to identifying the fourth edition. One could specify a different edition either by using the parameter |edition=, which causes |date= and |isbn= and other identifiers to be set accordingly, or by setting |isbn=, |date=, etc. directly.

Currently, however, |edition=4th is the only fully-supported setting for |edition= (if this parameter is used at all); that is, if another value of |edition= is used, the date, ISBN, and other fields may need to be filled in by the editor using the template.

Using Citation Style 2

[edit]

Despite the {{cs1 wrapper}} message box above, this template can be made to use Citation Style 2 by specifying |mode=cs2, as in the following example:

* {{Hefferon Linear Algebra |mode=cs2}}
