This module defines four dictionaries, :data:`html5`,
:data:`name2codepoint`, :data:`codepoint2name`, and :data:`entitydefs`.
:data:`entitydefs` is used to provide the :attr:`entitydefs`
attribute 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).

A dictionary that maps HTML5 named character references [#]_ to the

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 ``';'``.
