Definitions of HTML general entities
====================================

Definitions of HTML general entities.

This manual section was written by Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>.
This module defines a single dictionary, `entitydefs', which is used by
the `htmllib' module to provide the `entitydefs' member of the
`HTMLParser' class.  The definition provided here contains all the
entities defined by HTML 2.0 that can be handled using simple textual
substitution in the Latin-1 character set (ISO-8859-1).

`entitydefs'
     A dictionary mapping HTML 2.0 entity definitions to their
     replacement text in ISO Latin-1.
