{{Pausanias|language|book|chapter|first section in range|last section in range}}

Link to Greek text of Pausanias' Description of Greece 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.

This template based on Template:Thucydides.

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.

{{Pausanias|en}} 1.1 default book and chapter = 1.1
{{Pausanias|en|2}} 2.1 book set; default chapter = 1
{{Pausanias|en|2|3}} 2.3 book and chapter set
{{Pausanias|en|2|3|4}} 2.3.4 book, chapter, and section set
{{Pausanias|en|2|3|4|5}} 2.3.4–5 book, chapter, and section range set

Ref in any parameter except the first adds the name of author and work.

{{Pausanias|en|2|ref}} Pausanias, Description of Greece 2.1
{{Pausanias|en|2|3|ref}} Pausanias, Description of Greece 2.3
{{Pausanias|en|2|3|4|ref}} Pausanias, Description of Greece 2.3.4
{{Pausanias|en|2|3|4|5|ref}} Pausanias, Description of Greece 2.3.4–5

Shortref in any parameter except the first produces a shortened version, for cases in which the template is used in multiple refs.
