=============================================================
.. module:: html.entities
:synopsis: Definitions of HTML general entities.
.. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>
This module defines three dictionaries, ``name2codepoint``, ``codepoint2name``,
and ``entitydefs``. ``entitydefs`` is used by the :mod:`htmllib` module to
provide the :attr:`entitydefs` member of the :class:`html.parser.HTMLParser`
class. The definition provided here contains all the entities defined by XHTML
1.0 that can be handled using simple textual substitution in the Latin-1
character set (ISO-8859-1).
.. 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 codepoints.
.. data:: codepoint2name
