Template:EB9 Intra-Article Link/doc

Purpose
This template provides a means to link more easily from within the running text of articles in the Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition, both at the main article space and from the page scans. It can also duplicate the functionality of existing templates to provide automatically–small capped links.

It also corrects the oversight in existing templates that fail to automatically correct lower-case links (i.e., to ) to the actual capitalized  formatting of Wikisource's articles.

Examples
gives.

gives. [Note that this “1” can be set to any value—“yes”, “0”, “no”—other than an empty space and the link will still be formatted to small caps.]

gives but links to Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Abyss.

gives which links to the British subsection within the larger  article.

Note
This template still does not support the linking of article names that are themselves in all-caps:

gives.

Such names—when encountered, e.g., on the automated page scans—should still be formatted to their normal capitalization before being linked.
