| title  = Caption for the whole table (optional, defaults to blank)
| leftt  = Title of left column (this line is optional, defaults to "Prototype")
| rightt = Title of right column (this is also optional, defaults to "Final")
| left   = Content of the left box
| right  = Content of the right box
| mode   = ''mode'' can be set to the following:
           - ''horizontal'' for horizontal display. This is the standard display and ''mode''
               need not be set explicitly to this.
           - ''vertical1'' for vertical layout where Prototype is on top of Final version and
               the pictures below their description boxes.
           - ''vertical2'' for vertical layout where Prototype is on top of Final version and
               the pictures next to their description boxes.
| align  = If set, inline elements (text, img etc.) in content cells will be aligned to this value.
           It defaults to '''center''' if not set. Common values are '''left''' and '''right'''.
| valign = The same as align, but for aligning elements vertically. It defaults to '''middle''' if not set.
           Common values are '''top''' and '''bottom'''. Pointless with the vertical layout options.
| float = ''float'' can be set to the following:
           - ''center'' for the box to be aligned in the center of the page. This is the standard display and ''float''
               need not be set explicitly to this.
           - ''left'' for the box to be aligned to the left side of the article.
           - ''right'' for the box to be aligned to the right side of the article.
}}

You can use leftt and rightt to change the titles of the two boxes, title to give it a caption, and width to specify the overall width.
