Usage
កែប្រែThis 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, unlike the similar {{`}} (no spacing). This template is intended for use with italic text, whereas {{`}} is intended for use with non-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. Conversely, {{`}} should be used if the text is already italicized. For example:
''The ''Iliad''{{`}}s vocabulary is archaic.''
generates:
- The Iliad's vocabulary is archaic.
without the extra space, which would be distracting here.
This template is also similar to {{-'}}, used to slightly space apart a leading single quote from a surrounding double quotation mark provided by a template parameter in which the content is placed, e.g. the |title=
parameter of {{cite web}}. The equivalent template when manually placing double quotes around a single-quoted passage is {{" '}}; see also {{'-}} and {{' "}} for the right-hand side equivalents (parameter and manual, respectively). All of these templates use 0.2em of spacing, while {{'}}, this template, uses only 0.1em of spacing, as does ទំព័រគំរូ:'s, which is used for possessives in italics.
