Usage
This template is intended to provide a uniform notation and format for expressing dimensions of physical quantities (spacing, ordering of symbols etc.) throughout articles.

The International System of Quantities defines a convention for formatting of the dimensions of quantities. The default format (without the bold parameter or further applied formatting) adheres to this.

Parameters
The parameters are the base quantities, coded according to:


 * {| class="wikitable"

! Parameter ! Base quantity ! Symbol
 * time
 * time
 * style="text-align:center;" | T
 * length
 * length
 * style="text-align:center;" | L
 * mass
 * mass
 * style="text-align:center;" | M
 * current
 * electric current
 * style="text-align:center;" | I
 * temp
 * thermodynamic temperature
 * style="text-align:center;" | Θ
 * amount
 * amount of substance
 * style="text-align:center;" | N
 * lum
 * luminous intensity
 * style="text-align:center;" | J
 * }
 * amount of substance
 * style="text-align:center;" | N
 * lum
 * luminous intensity
 * style="text-align:center;" | J
 * }
 * }

and the value of each parameter is the exponent of the dimension of the base quantity:


 * blank defaults to exponent 0 (so irrelevant dimensions do not need to be typed)
 * exponent 0 means the base quantity dimension will not show up (as in usual notation)
 * exponent 1 does not show the exponent (as is usual for exponential notation)
 * exponent not 0 or 1 shows the base quantity dimension to that exponent, including negatives (use "−" for minus, not a hyphen "-")

An optional parameter is:


 * bold: set this to yes for bold dimension symbols; the default is no bold. The ISQ and SI give the convention of a roman sans-serif type, so bold would not conform: use it sparingly.
