20.3. html.entities — Definitions of HTML general entities
Source code: Lib/html/entities.py
This module defines four dictionaries, html5,
name2codepoint, codepoint2name, and entitydefs.
-
html.entities.html5 A dictionary that maps HTML5 named character references [1] to the equivalent Unicode character(s), e.g.
html5['gt;'] == '>'. Note that the trailing semicolon is included in the name (e.g.'gt;'), however some of the names are accepted by the standard even without the semicolon: in this case the name is present with and without the';'. See alsohtml.unescape().New in version 3.3.
-
html.entities.entitydefs A dictionary mapping XHTML 1.0 entity definitions to their replacement text in ISO Latin-1.
-
html.entities.name2codepoint A dictionary that maps HTML entity names to the Unicode code points.
-
html.entities.codepoint2name A dictionary that maps Unicode code points to HTML entity names.
