This template allows quick entry of an apostrophe and "s" using 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.

The templates {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{'s}}</nowiki>}} and {{tlx|`s}} are used in the ''opposite'' manner compared to on Wikipedia: On Wikipedia {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{'s}}</nowiki>}} adds a space before the apostrophe and {{tlx|`s}} does not, whereas on the Xenharmonic Wiki {{tlx|`s}} adds spacing and {{tlx|'s}} does not.
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.
