Usage
[සංස්කරණය]This template, {{'-}} or Template:Single space, 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, 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 CSS.
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.
Typical use in a citation template:
|title={{-'}}My Two Front Teeth': A Critical Review
results in:
- "'My Two Front Teeth': A Critical Review"
compared to:
- "'My Two Front Teeth': A Critical Review"
produced by:
|title='My Two Front Teeth': A Critical Review
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).
