Template:Cite Appletons'/doc

Purpose
This template facilitates the citation of articles from Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. It uses cite encyclopedia in its implementation. It provides for links to the Wikisource project Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography, but also links to other sources (for example Google Books), or no link at all can be used.

Usage
|noicon=1 — remove the leading icon |vb   =1 —  if text is copied from an Appletons' article this parameter adds a prescript for article attribution (see the Plagiarism guideline) |inline=1 — alter the prescript for use within inline citations.
 * Other parameters

Set defaults for some parameters |year=1891 —  unless wstitle is set (see below) then 1900 unless some other value is provided |encyclopedia=Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography — can be overwritten
