How to insert\reduce space or shift ctrl space using xml tag in XML Publisher

We have a requirement as below.

we have a table with two columns as shown below. We are deriving these values in XML template using XML tags.

Article	Name
de l'	Eswatini
du	Tchad

Now, the output should show as below

de l'Eswatini (without any space when the article ends with apostrophe (')

du Tchad (with space when the article does not end with apostrophe.

Any ideas on how to acheive this using xml publisher?
