--------------
|
|
This module defines four dictionaries, :data:`html5`,
|
:data:`name2codepoint`, :data:`codepoint2name`, and :data:`entitydefs`.
|
|
|
.. data:: 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 :func:`html.unescape`.
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.3
|
|
|
.. data:: entitydefs
|
|
A dictionary mapping XHTML 1.0 entity definitions to their replacement text in
|
ISO Latin-1.
|
|
|
.. data:: name2codepoint
|
|
A dictionary that maps HTML entity names to the Unicode code points.
|
|
|
.. data:: codepoint2name
|
|
A dictionary that maps Unicode code points to HTML entity names.
