Decode HTML entities and character references, including some nonstandard

|
|
|
|
|
|
Python has a built-in called `html.unescape` that can decode HTML escapes,
|
|
|
|
|
including a bunch of messy edge cases such as decoding escapes without
|
|
|
|
|
semicolons such as "&".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you know you've got HTML-escaped text, applying `html.unescape` is the
|
|
|
|
|
right way to convert it to plain text. But in ambiguous situations, that
|
|
|
|
|
would create false positives. For example, the informally written text
|
|
|
|
|
"this¬ that" should not automatically be decoded as "this¬ that".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this function, we decode the escape sequences that appear in the
|
|
|
|
|
`html.entities.html5` dictionary, as long as they are the unambiguous ones
|
|
|
|
|
that end in semicolons.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We also decode all-caps versions of Latin letters and common symbols.
|
|
|
|
|
If a database contains the name 'PÉREZ', we can read that and intuit
|
|
|
|
|
that it was supposed to say 'PÉREZ'. This is limited to a smaller set of
|
|
|
|
|
entities, because there are many instances where entity names are
|
|
|
|
|
case-sensitive in complicated ways.

This function has to be called specifically. It's not run automatically by
|
|
|
|
|
ftfy, because escaped text is not necessarily a mistake, and there is no

|
way to distinguish when it is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

This is what Python's "string-escape" and "unicode-escape" codecs were
|
|
|
|
|
meant to do, but in contrast, this actually works. It will decode the
|
|
|
|
|
string exactly the same way that the Python interpreter decodes its string
|
|
|
|
|
literals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> factoid = '\\u20a1 is the currency symbol for the colón.'
|
|
|
|
|
>>> print(factoid[1:])
|
|
|
|
|
u20a1 is the currency symbol for the colón.
|
|
|
|
|
>>> print(decode_escapes(factoid))
|
|
|
|
|
₡ is the currency symbol for the colón.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even though Python itself can read string literals with a combination of
|
|
|
|
|
escapes and literal Unicode -- you're looking at one right now -- the
|
|
|
|
|
"unicode-escape" codec doesn't work on literal Unicode. (See
|
|
|
|
|
http://stackoverflow.com/a/24519338/773754 for more details.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instead, this function searches for just the parts of a string that
|
|
|
|
|
represent escape sequences, and decodes them, leaving the rest alone. All
|
|
|
|
|
valid escape sequences are made of ASCII characters, and this allows
|
|
|
|
|
"unicode-escape" to work correctly.

A further explanation:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ftfy can now fix text in a few cases that it would previously fix
|
|
|
|
|
incompletely, because of the fact that it can't successfully apply the fix
|
|
|
|
|
to the entire string. A very common case of this is when characters have
|
|
|
|
|
been erroneously decoded as windows-1252, but instead of the "sloppy"
|
|
|
|
|
windows-1252 that passes through unassigned bytes, the unassigned bytes get
|
|
|
|
|
turned into U+FFFD (<EFBFBD>), so we can't tell what they were.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This most commonly happens with curly quotation marks that appear
|
|
|
|
|
``“ like this â€<EFBFBD>``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We can do better by building on ftfy's "sloppy codecs" to let them handle
|
|
|
|
|
less-sloppy but more-lossy text. When they encounter the character ``<EFBFBD>``,
|
|
|
|
|
instead of refusing to encode it, they encode it as byte 1A -- an
|
|
|
|
|
ASCII control code called SUBSTITUTE that once was meant for about the same
|
|
|
|
|
purpose. We can then apply a fixer that looks for UTF-8 sequences where
|
|
|
|
|
some continuation bytes have been replaced by byte 1A, and decode the whole
|
|
|
|
|
sequence as <EFBFBD>; if that doesn't work, it'll just turn the byte back into <EFBFBD>
|
|
|
|
|
itself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a result, the above text ``“ like this â€<EFBFBD>`` will decode as
|
|
|
|
|
``“ like this <EFBFBD>``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If U+1A was actually in the original string, then the sloppy codecs will
|
|
|
|
|
not be used, and this function will not be run, so your weird control
|
|
|
|
|
character will be left alone but wacky fixes like this won't be possible.
