:mod:`!html.entities` --- Definitions of HTML general entities
==============================================================
.. module:: html.entities
:synopsis: Definitions of HTML general entities.
.. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/html/entities.py`
--------------
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 HTML4 entity names to the Unicode code points.
.. data:: codepoint2name
A dictionary that maps Unicode code points to HTML4 entity names.
.. rubric:: Footnotes
