producesPlay it, Sam.
.{{trim quotes|1= ""Jimmy's""}}

{{trim quotes|1= Alex said "hello"}}
producesAlex said "hello"
(since the quotes aren't at the beginning and end of the string){{trim quotes|1=''zut alors!''}}
produceszut alors!
(the double-apostrophe that would otherwise display the phrase in italics is removed){{trim quotes|1='''This place is not a place of honor'''}}
