Usage
This template uses the decimal code for the apostrophe or single-quote character so that it doesn't become interpreted with adjacent italics (''
) or bold ('''
) wiki markup. This situation most commonly arises when taking the possessive of titles that should be italicized. {{'}}
is shorter than <nowiki>'</nowiki>
and clearer than an unadorned '
.
This template leaves leading space before the apostrophe. This template is intended for use with italic text. For example:
The ''Iliad''{{'}}s vocabulary is archaic.
generates:
- The Iliad's vocabulary is archaic.
with a tiny amount of space before the apostrophe to avoid colliding with the italic d at the end of Iliad.
