Template:`````/doc


 * Purpose
 * This template generates a sequence of five apostrophe characters (). It is generally only useful on template documentation pages or other "help" pages when illustrating the wikicode necessary to format text in bold italics without actually getting formatted text. An alternative to this template is simply using nowiki> tags to show the raw wikicode (see example below).


 * Usage


 * Example
 *  bold-italics  &rarr; bold-italics
 * Instead of: tt>nowiki>bold-italics/nowiki>/tt>


 * Note
 * This character sequence can also be coded as the numerical character entities &amp;#39;&amp;#39;&amp;#39;&amp;#39;&amp;#39; (or &amp;#x27;&amp;#x27;&amp;#x27;&amp;#x27;&amp;#x27;), but using this template may make it easier for other editors to recognize/remember the intended meaning.

 * Template:`` — for double apostrophes (to illustrate wikicode for italicized text)
 * Template:``` — for triple apostrophes (to illustrate wikicode for bold text)
