== Usage ==<br />
The {{tl|-"}} (or {{tl|Space+double}} in long form) template is for use at the end of a 'single-quoted' wikilink or a wikilink ending in an apostrophe or other similar punctuation or diacritic, which is immediately followed by a "double-quote" quotation mark ("), or when an italic word overlaps with a quotation mark (e.g. "italic quoted ''word''"). Its purpose is to slightly space the single and double quotation marks apart for legibility, without actually inserting a space character. It does this with [[Cascading style sheets|CSS]], and does so because the insertion of an extraneous space character of any kind would be a violation of the [[Semantic web|semantic integrity of the web content]] of the article or other page in which it appeared. For non-link spacing of this sort, see {{tl|' "}} (or [[Template:Single+double]]).<br />
<br />
;Example (with highlighting added for clarity):<br />
<br />
*Using the template:<br />
<br />
:<code>The song title was "<nowiki>[[Hustlin']]</nowiki><span style="color:fuchsia;"><strong><nowiki>{{-"}}</nowiki></strong></span>.</code><br />
<br />
:The song title was "[[Hustlin']]{{-"}}.<br />
<br />
*For comparison, here is the completely unspaced version:<br />
<br />
:<code>The song title was "<nowiki>[[Hustlin']]</nowiki><span style="color:fuchsia;"><strong>"</strong></span>.</code><br />
<br />
:The song title was "[[Hustlin']]".<br />
<br />
*And here is the version with a semantically incorrect non-breaking space character:<br />
<br />
:<code>The song title was "<nowiki>[[Hustlin']]</nowiki><span style="color:fuchsia;"><strong>&amp;nbsp;"</strong></span>.</code><br />
<br />
:The song title was "[[Hustlin']]&nbsp;".<br />
<br />
:When rendered, the non-breaking-spaced version looks similar to or the same as the template version, but improperly mixes content and presentation.<br />
<br />
*Using the template with an italic quote:<br />
<br />
:<code>The essay "<nowiki>On Translating ''Beowulf''</nowiki><span style="color:fuchsia;"><strong><nowiki>{{-"}}</nowiki></strong></span>.</code><br />
<br />
:The essay "On Translating ''Beowulf''{{-"}}.<br />
<br />
*For comparison, here is the unspaced italic version:<br />
<br />
:<code>The essay "<nowiki>On Translating ''Beowulf''</nowiki><span style="color:fuchsia;"><strong><nowiki>"</nowiki></strong></span>.</code><br />
<br />
:The essay "On Translating ''Beowulf''".<br />
