What does this have to do with XML? He specifically mentioned HTML where ampersand needs to be escaped as well. Especially when you consider that the semi-colon is optional in HTML.

The OP asked how to get &s to &s in an existing snippet of HTML. My solution does that and it does it without saying start over and do it from scratch which often isn't an option. It also sounded like it might be an XY question and the real issue was a need to do HTML->XHTML since the vanilla HTML world isn't usually concerned whether docs validate or not.	[reply]
