This template uses the [[wikipedia:List of XML and HTML character entity references|decimal code]] for the apostrophe or single-quote character. It is shorter than <code>&lt;nowiki&gt;'&lt;/nowiki&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;nowiki/&gt;'</code> and is designed to be clearer than an unadorned <code><nowiki>&amp;#39;</nowiki></code>. {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{'}}</nowiki>}} and {{tlx|'s|plaincode}} prevent apostrophes and single quotes from becoming mistakenly interpreted with adjacent '''bold''' (<code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code>) or ''italic'' (<code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code>) Wiki markup.
 
=== Usage ===
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; margin: auto;"
|-
! You type
! You get
|-
| <code><nowiki>'''Sara Bareilles'''{{'}} latest album</nowiki></code>
| '''Sara Bareilles'''{{'}} latest album
|}
 
=== Technical note ===
When an apostrophe follows italicized text, {{tlx|`|plaincode}} and {{tlx|`s|plaincode}} can be used to additionally prevent the last letter of the right-leaning text from interfering with the apostrophe.
 
The templates {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{'}}</nowiki>}} and {{tlx|`|plaincode}} are used in the ''opposite'' manner compared to on Wikipedia: On Wikipedia {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{'}}</nowiki>}} adds a space before the apostrophe and {{tlx|`|plaincode}} does not, whereas on the Xenharmonic Wiki {{tlx|`|plaincode}} adds spacing and {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{'}}</nowiki>}} 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>'''John'''{{'s}} house</nowiki></code>
