Usage
This template, {{'-}}
or Template:Single+space, uses thedecimal code for the apostrophe or single-quote character so that it does not become interpreted with adjacent italics (
'') or bold (''') wiki markup, or visually confused with other quotation marks.
This template leaves trailing space after the single quotation mark/apostrophe, unlike the similar {{`}} (no spacing), {{-'}} (leading space before the single quote) and {{'}} (smaller leading space before the apostrophe). It does not insert any semantically-invalid space characters, but does all the spacing visually-only, in CSS.
This template is intended for use with double-quote-providing templates when the content quoted ends on the right-hand side with an apostrophe/single quote, whereas {{-'}} is for the left-hand side, {{'}} is intended for use with italic text, and {{`}} is for non-italic text.
- Do not use these templates in the |title = parameter of Citation Style 1 templates. Doing so corrupts the COinS metadata produced by the citation.
Example:
"Critical Review of 'My Two Front Teeth{{'-}}"
results in:
- "Critical Review of 'My Two Front Teeth'"
compared to:
- "Critical Review of 'My Two Front Teeth'"
produced by:
"Critical Review of 'My Two Front Teeth'"
Note the slight visual spacing difference between these two:
- Teeth'"
- Teeth'"
The equivalent template when manually placing double quotes around a single-quoted passage is {{' "}}; see also {{-'}} and {{" '}} for the left-hand side equivalents (parameter and manual, respectively).
