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 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~~'''~~ or ''italic'' text. This template is the same as {{tlx|'|plaincode}} except that it inserts a small amount of space before the apostrophe ~~using {{tlx|nbhsp|plaincode}}~~ to avoid such collisions.

=== Usage ===

=== Technical note ===

This template does not insert any semantically invalid whitespace characters, but does all the spacing visually only, in [[CSS]].
