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 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 also html.unescape().
-
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.
