""" Utility for parsing HTML entity definitions available from:
http://www.w3.org/ as e.g.
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/HTMLlat1.ent
Input is read from stdin, output is written to stdout in form of a
Python snippet defining a dictionary "entitydefs" mapping literal
entity name to character or numeric entity.
Marc-Andre Lemburg, mal@lemburg.com, 1999.
