In the file cpython/blob/master/Lib/html/entities.py the HTML5 named character references (line 264) do not look consistent. Some references have a semicolon at the end, some not, and some have both variants. Is there a reason for this? |

Questions should usually be asked on python-list or elsewhere. To answer, html5 was created from https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/named-characters.html with these issues and patches. #11113 dc44f55cc9dc1d016799362c344958baab328ff4 518dbfd7b5a4614b095befc62d1abf1588c7c14a #16245 e6e96eea5157650be77306b15b28bc815e14c2f3 The peculiarities in the dict keys reflect peculiarities in the standard. For instance, msg163706 of #11113 says "the standard allows some charref to end without a ';', but not all of them." I am leaving this open to add a link to the source file both in entities.py and the doc. It shows examples of the entities. A new one for me is smashp; U+02A33 ⨳. |
