There are two parameters:
- The first parameter is required. It must be either:
- an integer between 1 and 7 inclusive to specify one of the seven American editions of the encyclopedia being referenced or
- '7CD' to invoke a reference to the CD accompanying the book of the 7th Edition; the CD comprises biographies and tournament event results included in previous bound editions
- IE to specify the International Edition of 1967
- The second parameter is recommended but optional. It is the page number on which the reference begins.
