	I'm quite curious. What is the purpose of ''''s''' (see the edit box)? Is it something more than just apostrophe S... Or not? -- [[User:Veepz\|Veepz]] 15:41, 31 July 2007 (CDT)		I'm quite curious.

	:Exactly where in the edit box do you see that? Anyway, it's probably to prevent the single quote from being seen as part of wiki markup (as in <nowiki>''Galactica'''s</nowiki>, which sometimes gives problems). --[[User:Catrope\|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope\|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope\|e-mail me]])</sup> 16:01, 31 July 2007 (CDT)		:Exactly where in the edit box do you see that?

	:: I'm talking about & # 39 ;s, ''without'' the spaces. If you look at, for example, [[Noel Allison]] and click on 'edit'. In the edit box there is the whole ''& 39 s'' thing in place of the '''s''. Your explanation does make sense though. Thanks. -- [[User:Veepz\|Veepz]] 16:10, 31 July 2007 (CDT)		:: I'm talking about & # 39 ;s, ''without'' the spaces.

	:::I noticed that too sometimes, but rarely now. Not sure if it's intentional or some markup error. There is a problem with using a certain combination of apostrophes as genuine apostrophes and italics together, which will prevent the italics from terminating correctly. I thought that maybe people encountered that and used this code instead. No idea... --[[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 16:25, 31 July 2007 (CDT)		:::I noticed that too sometimes, but rarely now.

			::::Yeah, the purpose of the unicode thing (&#39;) is so that you could write something like ''Galactica''&s without causing formatting issues, basically having the wrong things italicized because it's confused about where the terminating tag actually is in a sentence or paragraph.-- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support\|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 16:31, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
