# Use {{preferred|<big>"</big>straight quotes<big>"</big>}}, instead of {{avoid|<big>“</big>curly quotes<big>”</big>}} (the same applies for single quotes: {{preferred|<big>'</big>straight<big>'</big>}} instead of {{avoid|<big>‘</big>curly<big>’</big>}}), and straight apostrophes ({{preferred|<big>'</big>}}) instead of curly apostrophes ({{avoid|<big>’</big>}}). Straight quotes and straight apostrophes are much easier to type on most keyboards than their curly (typographic) counterparts and produce fewer encoding problems.

# Avoid using {{avoid|<big>&bdquo;</big>low-high quotes<big>“</big>}}, {{avoid|<big>「</big>corner brackets<big>」</big>}}, or {{avoid|<big>«</big>guillemets<big>»</big>}} as quotation marks, except in special cases or for non-English text ~~where~~ these ~~alternative~~ marks ~~are preferred~~.

The templates {{tlx|'}} and {{tlx|'s}} are helpful when an apostrophe or single quote appears at the beginning or end of text in '''bold''' or ''italics'', because bold and italic text are themselves indicated by sequences of single quotes. When an apostrophe follows italicized text, {{tlx|`}} and {{tlx|`s}} can be used to additionally prevent the apostrophe from intersecting the last letter.
