[issue40873] Something wrong with html.unescape()

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de> added the comment:

According to 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references#cite_ref-semicolon_1-64
 the trailing semicolon can be omitted for the named entity "reg". That means 
"&reg" and "&reg;" are equivalent.

saxutils.unescape() only handles '<', '>', and '&' by default. You have to pass 
in a dictionary to unescape other entities.
