Main date in numeric format; 'publisher' is actually the 'work' (which is why italic markup was required to fix it); 'accessdate' without URL.

'format' without URL— should have used 'type', but it is not needed since the ISBN is specified; ISBN in 'id' and in parenthesis:

In {{cite journal}}, if 'url' is not defined and 'pmid' is then the title is linked using 'pmid'. Here 'pmid' is set without 'url' and 'title' includes a wikilink so the wikilink markup is exposed. 'coauthors' is used, and no COinS metadata is created for this field. 'title' ends with a period which is passed to the COinS metadata. 'postscript' is set to a period, which is redundant. 'journal' includes a shortened title which is not understandable to many readers.

''Iterated logarithms'' […] We note here the symbolism used by [[Alfred Pringsheim|Pringsheim]] and [[Jules Molk|Molk]] in their joint ''Encyclopédie'' article: "<sup>2</sup>log<sub>''b''</sub> ''a'' = log<sub>''b''</sub> (log<sub>''b''</sub> ''a''), …, <sup>''k''+1</sup>log<sub>''b''</sub> ''a'' = log<sub>''b''</sub> (<sup>''k''</sup>log<sub>''b''</sub> ''a'')."{{citeref|Pringsheim|Molk|1907|a<!-- [10] -->}} […] §533. ''[[John Frederick William Herschel|John Herschel]]'s notation for inverse functions,'' sin<sup>−1</sup> ''x'', tan<sup>−1</sup> ''x'', etc., was published by him in the ''[[Philosophical Transactions of London]]'', for the year 1813. He says ({{citeref|Herschel|1813|p. 10|style=plain}}): "This notation cos.<sup>−1</sup> ''e'' must not be understood to signify 1/cos. ''e'', but what is usually written thus, arc (cos.=''e'')." He admits that some authors use cos.<sup>''m''</sup> ''A'' for (cos. ''A'')<sup>''m''</sup>, but he justifies his own notation by pointing out that since ''d''<sup>2</sup> ''x'', Δ<sup>3</sup> ''x'', Σ<sup>2</sup> ''x'' mean ''dd'' ''x'', ΔΔΔ ''x'', ΣΣ ''x'', we ought to write sin.<sup>2</sup> ''x'' for sin. sin. ''x'', log.<sup>3</sup> ''x'' for log. log. log. ''x''. Just as we write ''d''<sup>−''n''</sup> V=∫<sup>''n''</sup> V, we may write similarly sin.<sup>−1</sup> ''x''=arc (sin.=''x''), log.<sup>−1</sup> ''x''.=c<sup>''x''</sup>. Some years later Herschel explained that in 1813 he used ''f''<sup>''n''</sup>(''x''), ''f''<sup>−''n''</sup>(''x''), sin.<sup>−1</sup> ''x'', etc., "as he then supposed for the first time. The work of a German Analyst, [[Hans Heinrich Bürmann|Burmann]], has, however, within these few months come to his knowledge, in which the same is explained at a considerably earlier date. He[Burmann], however, does not seem to have noticed the convenience of applying this idea to the inverse functions tan<sup>−1</sup>, etc., nor does he appear at all aware of the inverse calculus of functions to which it gives rise." Herschel adds, "The symmetry of this notation and above all the new and most extensive views it opens of the nature of analytical operations seem to authorize its universal adoption."{{citeref|Herschel|1820|b<!-- [4] -->}} […] §535. ''Persistence of rival notations for inverse function.''— […] The use of Herschel's notation underwent a slight change in [[Benjamin Peirce]]'s books, to remove the chief objection to them; Peirce wrote: "cos<sup>[−1]</sup> ''x''," "log<sup>[−1]</sup> ''x''."{{citeref|Peirce|1852|c<!-- [1] -->}} […] §537. ''Powers of trigonometric functions.''—Three principal notations have been used to denote, say, the square of sin ''x'', namely, (sin ''x'')<sup>2</sup>, sin ''x''<sup>2</sup>, sin<sup>2</sup> ''x''. The prevailing notation at present is sin<sup>2</sup> ''x'', though the first is least likely to be misinterpreted. In the case of sin<sup>2</sup> ''x'' two interpretations suggest themselves; first, sin ''x'' · sin ''x''; second,{{citeref|Peano|1903|d<!-- [8] -->}} sin (sin ''x''). As functions of the last type do not ordinarily present themselves, the danger of misinterpretation is very much less than in case of log<sup>2</sup> ''x'', where log ''x'' · log ''x'' and log (log ''x'') are of frequent occurrence in analysis. In his ''[[Introductio in analysin]]'' (1748), [[Leonhard Euler|Euler]]{{citeref|Euler|1748|e<!-- [9] -->}} writes (cos. ''z'')<sup>''n''</sup>, but in an article of 1754 he adopts<!-- [10] L.
