This template uses the [[wikipedia:List of XML and HTML character entity references|decimal code]] for the apostrophe or single-quote character. When taking the possessive of titles, or when indicating the derivative of a function, this template prevents an apostrophe or single quote from becoming mistakenly interpreted with adjacent '''bold''' (<code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code>) or ''italic'' (<code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code>) Wiki markup.<br /><br />
Sometimes, apostrophes may collide with certain characters such as lowercase ''d''{{`s}} and ''l''{{`s}}, especially after '''bold''' (<code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code>) or ''italic'' (<code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code>) text. In these cases, {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{`}}</nowiki>}} and {{tlx|`s|plaincode}} can be used to prevent such collisions. This template is the same as {{tlx|'|plaincode}} except that it inserts a small amount of space before the apostrophe.
Sometimes, apostrophes may collide with certain characters such as lowercase ''d''{{-'}}s and ''l''{{-'}}s, especially after '''bold''' or ''italic'' text. This template is the same as {{tlx|'|plaincode}} except that it inserts a small amount of space before the apostrophe to avoid such collisions.
=== Usage ===
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; margin: auto auto auto auto;"
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; margin: auto auto auto auto;"
| <code><nowiki>''Le Serre Nuove dell{{`}}Ornellaia''</nowiki></code>
| ''Le Serre Nuove dell{{`}}Ornellaia''

{{esctl}}
This template does not insert any semantically invalid whitespace characters, but does all the spacing visually only, in [[CSS]].
The templates {{tlx|'|plaincode}} and {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{`}}</nowiki>}} are used in the ''opposite'' manner compared to on Wikipedia: On Wikipedia {{tlx|'|plaincode}} adds a space before the apostrophe and {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{`}}</nowiki>}} does not, whereas on the Xenharmonic Wiki {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{`}}</nowiki>}} adds spacing and {{tlx|'|plaincode}} does not.
When inserting an apostrophe before a lowercase "s", it is recommended to use {{tlx|`s|plaincode}}, as {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{`}}s</nowiki>}} can be somewhat awkward. For example: <code><nowiki>The ''Iliad''{{`s}} vocabulary</nowiki></code>

Sometimes, apostrophes may collide with certain characters such as lowercase d's and l's, especially after bold (''') or italic ('') text. In these cases, {{`}} and {{`s}} can be used to prevent such collisions. This template is the same as {{'}} except that it inserts a small amount of space before the apostrophe.
