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 {{'}} except that it inserts a small amount of space before the apostrophe to avoid such collisions.
Usage
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
''The Doobie Brothers''{{`}} latest album
|
The Doobie Brothers' latest album |
Technical notes
This template does not insert any semantically invalid whitespace characters, but does all the spacing visually only, in CSS.
The templates {{'}} and {{`}} are used in the opposite manner compared to on Wikipedia: On Wikipedia {{'}} adds a space before the apostrophe and {{`}} does not, whereas on the Xenharmonic Wiki {{`}} adds spacing and {{'}} does not.
When inserting an apostrophe before a lowercase "s", it is recommended to use {{`s}}, as {{`}}s can be somewhat awkward. For example: The ''Iliad''{{`s}} vocabulary
To type out a prime symbol, use the templates {{,}} and {{-,}}.
