//! Character references occur in the [string][] and [text][] content types.
//!
//! ## Grammar
//!
//! Character references form with the following BNF
//! (<small>see [construct][crate::construct] for character groups</small>):
//!
//! ```bnf
//! character_reference ::= '&' (numeric | named) ';'
//!
//! numeric ::= '#' (hexadecimal | decimal)
//! ; Note: Limit of `6` imposed, as all bigger numbers are invalid.
//! hexadecimal ::= ('x' | 'X') 1*6(ascii_hexdigit)
//! ; Note: Limit of `7` imposed, as all bigger numbers are invalid.
//! decimal ::= 1*7(ascii_digit)
//! ; Note: Limit of `31` imposed, for `CounterClockwiseContourIntegral`.
//! ; Note: Limited to any known named character reference (see `constants.rs`)
//! named ::= 1*31(ascii_alphanumeric)
//! ```
//!
//! Like much of markdown, there are no “invalid” character references.
//! However, for security reasons, several numeric character references parse
//! fine but are not rendered as their corresponding character.
//! They are instead replaced by a U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (`�`).
//! See [`decode_numeric`][decode_numeric] for more info.
//!
//! To escape ASCII punctuation characters, use the terser
//! [character escape][character_escape] construct instead (as in, `\&`).
//!
//! Character references in markdown are not the same as character references
//! in HTML.
//! Notably, HTML allows several character references without a closing
//! semicolon.
//! See [*§ 13.2.5.72 Character reference state* in the HTML spec][html] for more info.
//!
//! Character references are parsed insensitive to casing.
//! The casing of hexadecimal numeric character references has no effect.
//! The casing of named character references does not matter when parsing, but
//! does affect whether they match.
//! Depending on the name, one or more cases are allowed, such as that `AMP`
//! and `amp` are both allowed but other cases are not.
//! See [`CHARACTER_REFERENCES`][character_references] for which
//! names match.
//!
//! ## Recommendation
//!
//! If possible, use a character escape.
//! Otherwise, use a character reference.
//!
