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 also html.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.
