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.

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}} instead. For example:
The ''Illiad''{{`s}} vocabulary
