This template uses the [[wikipedia:List of XML and HTML character entity references|decimal code]] for the apostrophe or single-quote character.

Sometimes, when placing an apostrophe after ''italic'' text, apostrophes may collide with certain characters such as lowercase ''d''{{nbhsp}}{{'}}s and ''l''{{nbhsp}}{{'}}s. In these cases, it is best to use {{tlx|nbhsp|plaincode}} place a small amount of space before the apostrophe to avoid such collisions.
