<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Documentation subpage}}<br /> &lt;!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE AND INTERWIKIS TO WIKIDATA. --&gt;<br /> {{High-use}}<br /> {{COinS safe|n}}<br /> <br /> == Usage ==<br /> The {{tl|-&quot;}} (or {{tl|Space+double}} in long form) template is for use at the end of a &#039;single-quoted&#039; wikilink or a wikilink ending in an apostrophe or other similar punctuation or diacritic, which is immediately followed by a &quot;double-quote&quot; quotation mark (&quot;), or when an italic word overlaps with a quotation mark (e.g. &quot;italic quoted &#039;&#039;word&#039;&#039;&quot;). 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|&#039; &quot;}} (or [[Template:Single+double]]).<br /> <br /> ;Example (with highlighting added for clarity):<br /> <br /> *Using the template:<br /> <br /> :&lt;code&gt;The song title was &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Hustlin&#039;]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:fuchsia;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{-&quot;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> :The song title was &quot;[[Hustlin&#039;]]{{-&quot;}}.<br /> <br /> *For comparison, here is the completely unspaced version:<br /> <br /> :&lt;code&gt;The song title was &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Hustlin&#039;]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:fuchsia;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> :The song title was &quot;[[Hustlin&#039;]]&quot;.<br /> <br /> *And here is the version with a semantically incorrect non-breaking space character:<br /> <br /> :&lt;code&gt;The song title was &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Hustlin&#039;]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:fuchsia;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> :The song title was &quot;[[Hustlin&#039;]]&amp;nbsp;&quot;.<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 /> :&lt;code&gt;The essay &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;On Translating &#039;&#039;Beowulf&#039;&#039;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:fuchsia;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{-&quot;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> :The essay &quot;On Translating &#039;&#039;Beowulf&#039;&#039;{{-&quot;}}.<br /> <br /> *For comparison, here is the unspaced italic version:<br /> <br /> :&lt;code&gt;The essay &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;On Translating &#039;&#039;Beowulf&#039;&#039;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:fuchsia;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&quot;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> :The essay &quot;On Translating &#039;&#039;Beowulf&#039;&#039;&quot;.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> {{Quotation mark templates}}&lt;includeonly&gt;{{Sandbox other||<br /> &lt;!-- CATEGORIES GO BELOW AND INTERWIKIS GO TO WIKIDATA - THANK YOU! --&gt;<br /> [[Category:Quotation mark templates]]<br /> }}&lt;/includeonly&gt;</div>
