{{tsh|'-}}{{High-use}}{{COinS safe|n}}
This template uses the [[List of XML and HTML character entity references|decimal code]] for the apostrophe or single-quote character so that it does not become interpreted with adjacent italics (<code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code>) or bold (<code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code>) wiki markup, or visually confused with other quotation marks.

==Usage==

This template leaves trailing space after the single quotation mark/apostrophe, unlike the similar {{tlx|`}} (no spacing), {{tl|Space+single}} (AKA {{tlx|-'}}; leading space before the single quote) and {{tl|Apostrophe}} (AKA {{tlx|'}}; smaller leading space before the apostrophe). It does not insert any semantically-invalid space characters, but does all the spacing visually-only, in [[Cascading style sheets|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 {{tlx|-'}} is for the left-hand side, {{tlx|'}} is intended for use with ''[[Italic type|italic]]'' text, and {{tlx|`}} is for non-italic text.

:{{strong|Do not}} use these templates in the {{para|title}} parameter of {{cs1}} templates. Doing so corrupts the [[COinS]] metadata produced by the citation.

The equivalent template when manually placing double quotes around a single-quoted passage is {{tlx|' "}}; see also {{tlx|-'}} and {{tlx|" '}} for the left-hand side equivalents (parameter and manual, respectively).

=== Example ===

:<code><nowiki>"Critical Review of 'My Two Front Teeth{{'-}}"</nowiki></code>

results in:

:"Critical Review of 'My Two Front Teeth{{'-}}"

compared to:

:"Critical Review of 'My Two Front Teeth'"

produced by:

:<code>"Critical Review of 'My Two Front Teeth'"</code>

Note the slight visual spacing difference between these two:
*Teeth{{'-}}"
*Teeth'"
