== Usage ==<br />
The {{tl|"-}} (or {{tl|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 [[Cascading style sheets|CSS]], and does so because the insertion of an extranous 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|" '}} (or [[Template:Double+single]]).<br />
<br />
;Example (with highlighting added for clarity):<br />
<br />
*Using the template:<br />
<br />
:<code>She said <span style="color:fuchsia;"><strong><nowiki>{{"-}}</nowiki></strong></span><nowiki>[['Til Tuesday]]</nowiki> were my favorite band in junior high school".</code><br />
<br />
:She said {{"-}}[['Til Tuesday]] were my favorite band in junior high school".<br />
<br />
*For comparison, here is the completely unspaced version:<br />
<br />
:<code>She said <span style="color:fuchsia;"><strong>"</strong></span><nowiki>[['Til Tuesday]]</nowiki> were my favorite band in junior high school".</code><br />
<br />
:She said "[['Til Tuesday]] were my favorite band in junior high school".<br />
<br />
*And here is the version with a semantically incorrect non-breaking space character:<br />
<br />
:<code>She said <span style="color:fuchsia;"><strong>"&amp;nbsp;</strong></span><nowiki>[['Til Tuesday]]</nowiki> were my favorite band in junior high school".</code><br />
<br />
:She said "&nbsp;[['Til Tuesday]] were my favorite band in junior high school".<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.</div>Grlucas
