== Usage ==<br />
The '''{{tlc|' '}}''' or '''{{tlc|Single+single}}''' template is to be used whenever a single-quotation mark or apostrophe (') would be followed by another one for another purpose, not intended to start or end <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code>-delimited italic wikimarkup. This is most commonly found in nested quotations, and [[w:cultivar|cultivar]] epithets, and linguistic glosses (all of which take single quotation marks), when the material they contain begins or ends with an apostrophe. E.g.<!--(e.g., {{tq|SOME EXAMPLE HERE}}).--> Its purpose is to prevent mis-parsing as italics, and to place a slight visual space ([[w:kerning|kerning]]) in-between the two <code>'</code> marks for legibility, without actually inserting a space character. It does this with [[w:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]], and does so because the insertion of an extraneous space character of any kind (e.g., {{code|&nbsp;}} or {{code|&thinsp;}}) would violate the [[w:Semantic Web|semantic integrity of web content]] in an article or another page in which it appears.<br />

For details on why not to manually make a non-breaking-spaced or thin-spaced version that may look similar to the templated output (short version: doing that improperly mixes content and presentation), see [[Template:Single+double/doc]].<br />
