character-entities
Map of named character references.
Contents
What is this?
This is a map of named character references in HTML (latest) to the characters
they represent.
When should I use this?
Maybe when you’re writing an HTML parser or minifier, but otherwise probably
never!
Even then, it might be better to use parse-entities
or
stringify-entities
.
