Usage
Table of the three approaches to mass, force and weight in measurement systems.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Systems to show | system | This parameter allows to restrict the table to either ‘metric’ or ‘English’ units, ‘both’ are shown by default.
| Line | optional |
| Show unit symbols | symbols | This parameter if set to anything replaces the unit names by their symbols.
| Line | optional |
See the /testcases subpage for the results of the system parameter.

The template table previously included rows that provided common labels or descriptions for the three approaches, as seen in this table. (Note that columns are not in the same order as in the template itself.) This was deemed inappropriate and should be discussed in surrounding prose where necessary.
