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.

The templates {{tlx|'}} and {{tlx|`}} are the ''opposite'' of the ones on Wikipedia: On Wikipedia {{tlx|'}} adds a space before the apostrophe and {{tlx|`}} does not, whereas on the Xenharmonic Wiki {{tlx|`}} adds spacing and {{tlx|'}} does not.


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

When inserting an apostrophe before a lowercase "s", it is recommended to use {{tlx|'s}} instead. For example:
The templates {{tlx|'|plaincode}} and {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{'}}</nowiki>}} 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.
