I have some XML text that I wish to render in an HTML page. This text contains an ampersand, which I want to render in its entity representation: &.
How do I escape this ampersand in the source XML? I tried &, but this is decoded as the actual ampersand character (&), which is invalid in HTML.
So I want to escape it in such a way that it will be rendered as & in the web page that uses the XML output.
