| According to HTML 4.0 specification it is possible to have hexadecimal numeric character references, not only decimal (see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/charset.html#h-5.3.1). However sgmllib.SGMLparser does not recognize the hexadecimal form. More and more HTML pages now use entities with a high codepoint, not in the official HTML entity list, so proper handling to these references should be implemented. A possible solution could be: - improving the "charref" regular expression, so to include exadecimal values; - considering all numeric references valid: those with n < 255 should be converted to the corresponding characters, those above 255 should be left as numerical charrefs. | ||
