Keeping the ampersand during XML import

[Cabinetman]

Yeah I know .....

My head is mush and I have to finish.

I've been removing the "&" from names and titles in my XML BEFORE import .... but I don't really like it.

Is it possible, and if so how, to import something like.....

<name>Smith & Wesson</name>

...so that it's the same in my field after import?

Can be changed in the stylesheet or where to allow it without getting an error?

No, it's not possible. That is not a valid XML document and it cannot be parsed.

Don't remove them convert to "&". Or perhaps they are already that way and you are viewing in the XML in something that is converting it (for view) already. If you look at the xml in a text-editor that does NOT convert, you will see for sure. If the "&" is "&" and you are using XSLT, the correct character should be imported.
