# Except in special cases, avoid using {{avoid|<big>&bdquo;</big>low-high quotes<big>&ldquo;</big>}}, {{avoid|<big>「</big>corner brackets<big>」</big>}}, or {{avoid|<big>«</big>guillemets<big>»</big>}} as quotation marks for English text.

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 or single quote follows italicized text, {{tlx|`}} and {{tlx|`s}} can be used to additionally prevent the last letter from intersecting the apostrophe or quote.
