.. note::
|
|
The :mod:`htmlentitydefs` module has been renamed to :mod:`html.entities` in
|
|
Python 3.0. It is importable under both names in Python 2.6 and the rest of
|
|
the 2.x series.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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:`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.
|
|
