This template leaves leading space before the apostrophe, unlike the similar {{tl|`}} (no spacing). This template is intended for use with ''[[Italic type|italic]]'' text, whereas {{tl|`}} is intended for use with non-italic text. For example:
* <code><nowiki>The ''Iliad''{{'}}s vocabulary is archaic.</nowiki></code>
generates:
* The ''Iliad''{{'}}s vocabulary is archaic.
with a tiny amount of space before the apostrophe to avoid colliding with the italic ''d'' at the end of ''Iliad''.

This template is also similar to {{tl|-'}}, used to slightly space apart a leading single quote from a surrounding double quotation mark provided by a template parameter in which the content is placed, e.g. the {{para|title}} parameter of {{tl|cite web}}. The equivalent template when manually placing double quotes around a single-quoted passage is {{tl|" '}}; see also {{tl|'-}} and {{tl|' "}} for the right-hand side equivalents (parameter and manual, respectively). All of these templates use 0.2 em of spacing, while this template, {{tl|'}}, uses only 0.1 em of spacing, as does {{tl|'s}}, which is used for possessives in italics.
