Notes edit

^ ^a ^b ^c ^d ^e Inline citations with url parameters (sometimes also the title parameter) cause a small problem as they can also link to non-Wikisource digital libraries. In these cases, an if statement can be used to switch between the existing code and cite wikisource based on those parameters.

[url-1] Inline citations with url parameters (sometimes also the title parameter) cause a small problem as they can also link to non-Wikisource digital libraries. In these cases, an if statement can be used to switch between the existing code and cite wikisource based on those parameters.
