Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
English Wikipedia has an article on:

Sometimes, apostrophes may collide with certain characters such as lowercase d{{subst:nbhsp}}'s and l{{subst:nbhsp}}'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

Technical note

This template does not insert any semantically invalid whitespace characters, but does all the spacing visually only, in CSS.
