This module defines three dictionaries, ``name2codepoint``,
``codepoint2name``, and ``entitydefs``. ``entitydefs`` is used to
provide the ``entitydefs`` attribute of the ``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).

html.entities.entitydefs

   A dictionary mapping XHTML 1.0 entity definitions to their
   replacement text in ISO Latin-1.

html.entities.name2codepoint

   A dictionary that maps HTML entity names to the Unicode codepoints.

html.entities.codepoint2name
