Look (for example) into the basket.html page. It has

---------snipp------------
	[if-field weight]
	[summary amount="[calc][item-quantity] * ([item-field weight] || 0)[/calc]" hide=1]
	[/if-field]
---------snipp------------

or in checkout.html

---------snipp------------
<TR>
	<TD COLSPAN=2></TD>
	<TD>[L]Shipping[/L]</TD>
	<TD ALIGN=RIGHT>[shipping]</TD>
</TR>
