Template:GT/doc

Purpose
To show gross tonnage in a consistent manner that is compliant with WP:MOSNUM. In particular it:
 * standardizes capitalization and spelling (i.e. GT, Gt, gt, G.T., g.t. and so forth),
 * standardizes the link to the definition,
 * links to gross tonnage on the first use in an article,
 * uses the abbreviation GT, i.e. "" on subsequent uses in the article,
 * inserts &amp;nbsp; where needed

Note! Gross tonnage is a dimensionless index calculated with a mathematical formula. While this template allows, for the sake of backwards compatibility, the use of "tons" as the unit for gross tonnage, this is not correct and should not be used in future articles.
