nowiki tags
It seem to output two  tags. Are those necessary? --Apoc2400 (talk) 01:23, 27 January 2010 (UTC)


 * The nowiki in the template is to avoid mishandling some titles that start or end with apostrophes. For example, without the nowiki, "'Yes' or 'No'" would expand to " ", which is rendered as "Yes' or 'No", which is in the wrong font and is missing apostrophes. With the nowiki the title correctly expands to " " which is rendered as " 'Yes' or 'No' &thinsp;" which uses the correct font and apostrophes. Just to be clear, these tags are not output. For example, the following citation:
 * generates the following HTML:
 * and there aren't any nowiki tags in that output. Eubulides (talk) 02:15, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
