You might consider googling "lexical analysis" because the particular  
thing you describe is often handled at an earlier point in the process  
(even if only a few lines ;-)  In particular, /&#([0-9]+);/ and / 
&#x([0-9A-Fa-f]+);/ are, as you said, handled slightly differently  
even though they both involve a numeric to character representation.
