TEMPLATE:MACTUTOR

Template documentation[ view] [ ] [ history] [ purge]

O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F., "Johannes Kepler", MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews

title defaults to the name of the Wikipedia article, so {{MacTutor|id=Newton}} yields

O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F., "MacTutor", MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews

date date of the article. For example, {{MacTutor|id=Luke|title=Yudell Luke|date=October 1998}} yields

O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F. (October 1998), "Yudell Luke", MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews

class can be used to indicate other non-biography pages in MacTutor, so {{MacTutor|class=HistTopics|id=Topology_in_mathematics|title=A history of Topology}} yields

O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F., "A History of Topology", MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews

last, first,...,last4, first4 parameters can be used to indicate up to four authors different from the default ones, so {{MacTutor|first=Umberto|last=Lucia|id=Morera|title=Giacinto Morera|date= March 2006}} yields

Lucia, Umberto (March 2006), "Giacinto Morera", in O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F. (eds.), MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews

class can also be used jointly with last and first to indicate other non-biography pages in MacTutor, so {{MacTutor|first=Umberto|last=Lucia|class=Extras|id=Morera_Publications|title=Publications of Giacinto Morera|date=March 2006}} yields

Lucia, Umberto (March 2006), "Publications of Giacinto Morera", in O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F. (eds.), MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews

authorX-link can be used when author parameters lastX and firstX are given, in order to insert a link to the Wikipedia article on the specified author, so {{MacTutor|first=Vladimir G.|last=Maz'ya|author-link=Vladimir Maz'ya|first2=Tatyana O.|last2=Shaposhnikova|author2-link=Tatyana Shaposhnikova|first3=Daniele|last3=Tampieri|id=Mikhlin|title=Solomon Grigoryevich Mikhlin|date=March 2011}} yields

As of 4 July 2021, {{ MacTutor}} is a template wrapper around {{ Citation}}, and thus any parameters of {{ Citation}} may be used. In particular, |mode=cs1 may be used to have the citation render in Citation Style 1 rather than Citation Style 2, as in the following example:

O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F. "Johannes Kepler". MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive. University of St Andrews.
