Named HTML Entities for Espanso

Technologies:
Tags:

A package for espanso that allows typing HTML entities. For any HTML entity, type it with a : prefix instead of &, and have it replaced with the Unicode character.

For instance:

Shortcut Character Unicode Name
:amp; & Ampersand
:copy; © Copyright sign
:mdash; Em dash
:hellip; Horizontal ellipsis
:infin; Infinity
:rarr; Rightwards arrow
:larr; Leftwards arrow
:ne; Not equal to
:harr; Left right arrow
:spades; Black spade suit
:starf; Black star
:there4; Therefore
:fnof; ƒ Latin small f with hook

It supports every named entity maintained by the WHATWG.

Note that this package does NOT support typing Unicode escape sequences like &#NNNN, where the N characters are digits.
