Template:ISBN
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]This template produces a simple, standardized link from a International Standard Book Number (ISBN). The ISBN is rendered using much of the same code that renders |ISBN= in Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates except that this template can be used to render multiple ISBNs.
Usage
This template accepts these parameters:
|idn=– a ISBN identifier; the|idn=parameter name is not required but is recommended for clarity when the template has multiple ISBNs|link=– accepts a single valueno; for use when the 'ISBN' prefix in the rendering should not be linked|plainlink=– accepts a single valueyes; suppresses the 'ISBN' prefix in the rendering|leadout=– defines the conjunction between the last two identifiers in the rendered list; defaults to,
The basic form is:
{{ISBN|0-7475-3269-9}}→ ISBN 0-7475-3269-9
For multiple ISBNs:
{{ISBN|978-1-4133-0454-1|978-1-4133-0454-1|978-1-4133-0454-1}}→ ISBN 978-1-4133-0454-1, 978-1-4133-0454-1, 978-1-4133-0454-1
To unlink the prefix:
{{ISBN|0-7475-3269-9|link=no}}→ ISBN 0-7475-3269-9
To suppress the prefix:
{{ISBN|0-7475-3269-9|plainlink=yes}}→ 0-7475-3269-9
To use and between the last two identifiers in the rendered list:
{{ISBN|978-1-4133-0454-1|978-1-4133-0454-1|978-1-4133-0454-1|leadout=and}}→ ISBN 978-1-4133-0454-1, 978-1-4133-0454-1 and 978-1-4133-0454-1
When this template emits an error message for a valid (working) ISBN, use the accept-as-written markup ((..)) to suppress the error message.
{{ISBN|1-4133-0451-0}}→ ISBN 1-4133-0451-0{{isbn}}: Checkisbnvalue: checksum (help){{ISBN|((1-4133-0451-0))}}→ ISBN 1-4133-0451-0{{isbn}}: ignored ISBN errors (link)
