Template:``/doc

< Template:``

Purpose

This template generates a double-apostrophe character sequence (''). It is generally only useful on template documentation pages or other "help" pages when illustrating the wikicode necessary to format text in italics without actually getting italicized text. An alternative to this template is simply using <nowiki> tags to show the raw wikicode (see example below).

Usage

{{``}}

Example

• <tt>{{``}}italics{{``}}</tt> → ''italics''
• Instead of: <tt><nowiki>''italics''</nowiki></tt>

Note

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