Hi,

The data come from the DB, and it's the user who feed the DB 
hence can not
control user from using '&'. Is there  a way of escaping this 
character if
the data comes from the DB? I have resaerched all over on the 
 internet but
have not gotten an appropriate explaination. It tells me to 
use '&' but
this data comes from the DB, how can i pick all '&' and 
trasform them in to
'&'.

You could preprocess the data with e.g. sed, perl, or with the tool you're 
using to retrieve the documents, just by replacing every '&' character in the 
document with "&". This could, however, not work if the XML document 
contains entity references (like  ) or character entity references (like 
 ), in which case you should only replace the ampersands that are not 
entity delimiters.

Cheers,

Jarno
