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.

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><nowiki>'</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki/>'</code> and is designed to be clearer than an unadorned <code><nowiki>&#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.

~~To insert an apostrophe and have it slightly spaced out from the rest of the text, use {{tlx|`}}.<br /><br />~~

=== Technical note ===

The templates {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{'}}</nowiki>}} and {{tlx|`|plaincode}} 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 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>

~~To type out~~ a prime ~~symbol, use the templates~~ {{tlx|,|plaincode}} and {{tlx|-,|plaincode}}.
