== Usage ==

<code><nowiki>{{Google books|id|title|page=|keywords=|text=|plainurl=}}</nowiki></code>

The <code>page</code>, <code>keywords</code>, <code>text</code>, and <code>plainurl</code> parameters are all optional.

The {{para|id}} parameter is the string of twelve characters found in the specific Google Books URL after "id=" but before "&".

The {{para|title}} parameter is used to specify the publication title when used as a link (and not as a bare URL; {{para|title}} is not useful when {{para|plainurl}} is used).

The {{para|page}} parameter may be used to link to a particular 'normal' page (i.e. PA24). {{para|pg}} can be used for 'special' pages
* Normal pages, e.g. {{para|pg|PA5}} for [[Arabic numeral|normal page]] 5. This is equivalent to {{para|page|5}}
* Roman pages, e.g. {{para|pg|PR5}} for [[Roman numeral|roman page]] v
* preamble pages, e.g. {{para|pg|PP5}} for preamble page 5 (often not officially numbered, scheme varies from book to book)
* e-book pages, e.g. {{para|pg|PT5}}, for the fifth page of an e-book (often not officially numbered)
If the page is prefaced with RA-, that can usually be removed.

The {{para|keywords}} parameter may be used to search for particular keywords within the text (corresponding to the ''q'' parameter in the Google URL); {{para|text}} searches for a quoted phrase (corresponding to the ''dq'' parameter in the Google URL). Only one of these should be used.

The {{para|plainurl}} parameter tells the template to output a URL (web address) only, rather than a linked book title and page number. Use {{para|plainurl|yes}} when using this template in a {{para|url}} parameter of a citation template. {{para|plain-url}} works as an alias.

In many cases when converting an existing Google Books URL, only one of the above should be used. When multiple parameters are present, the final target page is much more likely to vary over time. If linking to a specific page, only use the page parameter, and if doing a text search then do not include the page parameter. The desired parameters are often the ones after the # symbol, since GB uses javascript.

For external links, the following all do the same thing:
*{{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|id{{=}}{{var|id}}|title{{=}}{{var|title}}}}
*{{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1{{=}}{{var|id}}|2{{=}}{{var|title}}}}
*{{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|{{var|id}}|{{var|title}}}}

For URLs, the following all do the same thing:
*{{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|id{{=}}{{var|id}}|plainurl{{=}}yes}}
*{{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1{{=}}{{var|id}}|plainurl{{=}}yes}}
*{{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|{{var|id}}|plainurl{{=}}yes}}
