"Food & Drink" is what I have in the xml file. I should have made it
clearer.
item is a element which has a value of "Food & Drink" in the xml file.
It will never replace '&' into '' if I have -- translate(item, 'amp;',
'');

XSLT is expressed in XML, and so must conform to all the XML rules,
including the fact that "&" is a forbidden character used only to mark
the
start of an entity and must be represented with "&".
translate('Food & Drink','& ','')
Note I've also added the space in the second argument so these are
replaced
as well to provide "FoodDrink".
To pre-empt your next question, the use of & is required in the
serialized XML document. The above function will not translate each
individual character of '&','a','m', etc. to '', because an XSLT
stylesheet
is parsed like any other XML document prior to processing, and so the
XSLT
engine itself will understand it as '&' --> ''.

I'd like to translate "Food & Drink" into "FoodDrink".
I use this: translate('Food & Drink', '&', '' );
Apparently, an error occurs with the code above because of the '&'. Can
anyone tell how to handle the '&' here?
Thanks in advance.
