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.
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.
The templates {{tlx|'}} and {{tlx|`}} are the ''opposite'' of the ones on Wikipedia: On Wikipedia {{tlx|'}} adds a space before the apostrophe and {{tlx|`}} does not, whereas on the Xenharmonic Wiki {{tlx|`}} adds spacing and {{tlx|'}} does not.

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>
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
