List of legacy HTML named character references that don’t need a trailing semicolon
The character-entities-legacy npm package provides a collection of character entity references (such as & for an ampersand) that were used in older versions of HTML (up to HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0). These entities are useful for encoding special characters in HTML to ensure they are displayed correctly in a web browser. The package can be used to reference these entities in a project without having to remember the specific codes.
