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).
