Here is a citation with the chapter title included:

{{cite book |author=Clifford Truesdell & Walter Noll |chapter=Preface |chapterurl=https://books.google.com/books?id=dp84F_odrBQC&pg=PR13&dq=%22Preface+to+the+Third%22+inauthor:Antman&lr=&as_brr=0 |edition=3rd |editor=Stuart S. Antman |isbn=3540027793 |page=xiii |publisher=Springer |title=The Non-linear Field Theories of Mechanics |type=reprint of 1965 article in ''Encyclopedia of Physics'' |year=2004}}

The editor's name is preceded by in.

If the chapter title is omitted, the treatment of the editor changes:

{{cite book |author=Clifford Truesdell & Walter Noll |edition=3rd |editor=Stuart S. Antman |isbn=3540027793 |page=xiii |publisher=Springer |title=The Non-linear Field Theories of Mechanics |type=reprint of 1965 article in ''Encyclopedia of Physics'' |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dp84F_odrBQC&pg=PR13&dq=%22Preface+to+the+Third%22+inauthor:Antman&lr=&as_brr=0 |year=2004}}

Now there is a double period after ed and the in has been dropped.

Aside from this inconsistency in format, insertion of the word in before the editors name is sometimes inappropriate. The word in makes sense for a collection of works by various authors, edited by an editor. But it does not make sense for a reprinted classic work, such as this example, where the original authors are responsible for the entire work. In this latter case, the reference is not to a chapter among variously sourced chapters, but to a particular topic in a work by the same authors.

Here is a citation with the chapter title Preface specified. The url for the book becomes attached to the chapter heading:

{{cite book |author=Clifford Truesdell & Walter Noll |chapter=Preface |edition=3rd |editor=Stuart S.

If the chapter title is omitted, the url is attached to the book title instead:
