Usage
The "- (or Double+space in long form) template is for use at the beginning of a 'single-quoted' wikilink or a wikilink beginning with an apostrophe or other similar punctuation or diacritic, which is immediately preceded by a "double-quote" quotation mark ("). 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 CSS, and does so because the insertion of an extranous space character of any kind would be a violation of the semantic integrity of the web content of the article or other page in which it appeared. For non-link spacing of this sort, see " ' (or Template:Double+single).


 * Example (with highlighting added for clarity):


 * Using the template:


 * &#x3c;code&#x3e;She said &#x3c;span style="color:fuchsia;"&#x3e;&#x3c;strong&#x3e;&#x3c;nowiki&#x3e;&#x3c;/nowiki&#x3e;&#x3c;/strong&#x3e;&#x3c;/span&#x3e;&#x3c;nowiki&#x3e;'Til Tuesday&#x3c;/nowiki&#x3e; were my favorite band in junior high school".&#x3c;/code&#x3e;


 * She said 'Til Tuesday were my favorite band in junior high school".


 * For comparison, here is the completely unspaced version:


 * &#x3c;code&#x3e;She said &#x3c;span style="color:fuchsia;"&#x3e;&#x3c;strong&#x3e;"&#x3c;/strong&#x3e;&#x3c;/span&#x3e;&#x3c;nowiki&#x3e;'Til Tuesday&#x3c;/nowiki&#x3e; were my favorite band in junior high school".&#x3c;/code&#x3e;


 * She said "'Til Tuesday were my favorite band in junior high school".


 * And here is the version with a semantically incorrect non-breaking space character:


 * &#x3c;code&#x3e;She said &#x3c;span style="color:fuchsia;"&#x3e;&#x3c;strong&#x3e;"&#x26;amp;nbsp;&#x3c;/strong&#x3e;&#x3c;/span&#x3e;&#x3c;nowiki&#x3e;'Til Tuesday&#x3c;/nowiki&#x3e; were my favorite band in junior high school".&#x3c;/code&#x3e;


 * She said "&#x26;nbsp;'Til Tuesday were my favorite band in junior high school".


 * When rendered, the non-breaking-spaced version looks similar to or the same as the template version, but improperly mixes content and presentation.
