`!html.entities` --- Definitions of HTML general entities

html.entities

Source code: Lib/html/entities.py


This module defines four dictionaries, html5, name2codepoint, codepoint2name, and entitydefs.

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 also html.unescape.

3.3

entitydefs

A dictionary mapping XHTML 1.0 entity definitions to their replacement text in ISO Latin-1.

name2codepoint

A dictionary that maps HTML4 entity names to the Unicode code points.

codepoint2name

A dictionary that maps Unicode code points to HTML4 entity names.
