{{Herodotus|language|book|chapter|first section in range|last section in range}}
Link to Greek text of Herodotus' Histories at the Perseus Project by book, chapter, and section number. Sections are sometimes called lines. Adding the last section in a range does not change the link URL, since pages on Perseus include only one section.
The first parameter is language: gr or el for Greek, en for English.
Normally the template does not display the name of the author and the work.
| {{Herodotus|en}} | → | 1.1 | default book and chapter = 1.1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| {{Herodotus|en|2}} | → | 2.1 | book set; default chapter = 1 |
| {{Herodotus|en|2|3}} | → | 2.3 | book and chapter set |
| {{Herodotus|en|2|3|4}} | → | 2.3.4 | book, chapter, and section set |
| {{Herodotus|en|2|3|4|5}} | → | 2.3.4–5 | book, chapter, and section range set |
Placing ref in any parameter after the second adds the name of author and work.
| {{Herodotus|en|2|ref}} | → | Herodotus, Histories 2.1 |
|---|---|---|
| {{Herodotus|en|2|3|ref}} | → | Herodotus, Histories 2.3 |
| {{Herodotus|en|2|3|4|ref}} | → | Herodotus, Histories 2.3.4 |
| {{Herodotus|en|2|3|4|5|ref}} | → | Herodotus, Histories 2.3.4–5 |
Placing shortref in any parameter after the second produces a shortened version, for cases in which the template is used in multiple refs.
| {{Herodotus|en|2|shortref}} | → | Herodotus 2.1 |
|---|---|---|
| {{Herodotus|en|2|3|shortref}} | → | Herodotus 2.3 |
| {{Herodotus|en|2|3|4|shortref}} | → | Herodotus 2.3.4 |
| {{Herodotus|en|2|3|4|5|shortref}} | → | Herodotus 2.3.4–5 |
