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.
