The issue here is that Kid wants to work with XML and Unicode.
This throws up an issue that HTML entities are not valid Unicode and
must be represented differently.
The following code from TurboBlog (Florent Aide) addresses this issue:
from htmlentitydefs import name2codepoint
def deEntity(content=u""):
for entity in name2codepoint.keys( ):
if entity in content:
content = content.replace(
"&%s;" % entity,
unichr(name2codepoint[entity])
)
#
#
return content
The coding is such that it should be applied each time the text is
editted by a user; rather than each time it is displayed.
This came up as an issue for me when trying to use TinyMCE and appears
in my article on that subject:
