__NOTOC__
==Purpose==
To show [[net register tonnage]] in a consistent manner that is compliant with [[WP:MOSNUM]].  In particular it:
* standardizes capitalization and spelling (i.e. NRT, Nrt, nrt, N.R.T., n.r.t. and so forth),
* standardizes the link to the definition,
* links to [[net register tonnage]] on the first use in an article,
* uses the abbreviation NRT, i.e. "{{NRT|XXX}}" on subsequent uses in the article,
* inserts &amp;nbsp; where needed
'''Note!''' For ships built on or after 18 July 1982, use {{tl|NetT}}.

==Usage==
 <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>NRT|{{var|number}}|disp=|link=}}</code>

;Parameters
:'''{{var|number}}''': numerical value of the gross register tonnage; 
:'''disp''': controls how the template will render in the page:
::{{para|disp}} when empty or omitted, displays the abbreviated form:
:::<code><nowiki>{{NRT|36,000|disp=}}</nowiki></code> → {{NRT|36,000|disp=}}
::{{para|disp|long}} creates a verbose description suitable for the first occurrence on a page
:::<code><nowiki>{{NRT|36,000|disp=long}}</nowiki></code> → {{NRT|36,000|disp=long}}
::{{para|disp|adj}} creates the adjectival form:
:::<code><nowiki>{{NRT|36,000|disp=adj}}</nowiki></code> → {{NRT|36,000|disp=adj}}
:'''link''': controls when the template output is linked to the [[net register tonnage]] article
::{{para|link}} when empty or omitted, links to the gross register tonnage article; this is the default;
:::<code><nowiki>{{NRT|36,000|disp=long|link=}}</nowiki></code> → {{NRT|36,000|disp=long|link=}}
::{{para|link|off}} instances of the rendered template are not linked to the gross register tonnage article:
:::<code><nowiki>{{NRT|36,000|disp=long|link=off}}</nowiki></code> → {{NRT|36,000|disp=long|link=off}}
