Template:Spaced prime

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template should not be substituted.

This template produces a prime symbol (U+2032 ′) with leading space so it does not collide with preceding bold (''') or italic ('') characters.

Note: You can use {{-`}} as a shortcut.

Using {{-`}} is significantly less messy than having to type out <span style="padding-left: 0.15em; white-space: nowrap;">′</span> every time.

Usage

You type	You get
''T''{{-´}}	T′

Technical notes

The difference between {{prime}} and this template is that {{prime}} is for letters that require little or no spacing, such as lowercase a, o, and s, and uppercase A and L, while this template is for letters such as d, f, and l, and uppercase C and T that require more space.
