Template:Space single/doc

Usage
This template, or Template:Space single, uses the decimal 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 leading space before the single quotation mark/apostrophe, unlike the similar ` (no spacing), '- (trailing space after 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 Cascading style sheets.

This template is intended for use with double-quote-providing templates when the content quoted starts on the left-hand side with an apostrophe/single quote, whereas '- is for the right-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 templates. Doing so corrupts the COinS metadata produced by the citation.

Example:



results in:


 * "My Two Front Teeth': A Critical Review"

compared to:


 * "'My Two Front Teeth': A Critical Review"

produced by:



Note the slight visual spacing difference between these two:
 * "My
 * "'My

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).
