API

parseEntities(value[, options])

options

• additional (string, optional, default: '') — Additional character to accept when following an ampersand (without error);

• attribute (boolean, optional, default: false) — Whether to parse value as an attribute value;

• nonTerminated (boolean, default: true) — Whether to allow non-terminated entities, such as &copycat to ©cat. This behaviour is spec-compliant but can lead to unexpected results;

• warning (Function, optional) — Error handler;

• text (Function, optional) — Text handler;

• reference (Function, optional) — Reference handler;

• warningContext ('*', optional) — Context used when invoking warning;

• textContext ('*', optional) — Context used when invoking text;

• referenceContext ('*', optional) — Context used when invoking reference;

• position (Location or Position, optional) — Starting position of value, useful when dealing with values nested in some sort of syntax tree. The default is:

  {
    "start": {
      "line": 1,
      "column": 1,
      "offset": 0
    },
    "indent": []
  }
