If want to include a link in my navigation.xml file towards an url

(&), for example the xdoc plugin jira roadmap url is
http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10355&report=changelog
With MPXDOC-92 fixed if put an "&" in my navigation.xml I got a "
&" in my html
but how can I do to only have an "&" in my url and not an "&" ?
For me it looks like the MPXDOC-47, but fixing it will cause the
MPXDOC-92
to goes wrong ..
Brant Gurganus :
When written in HTML, an ampersand should be & The reason is that
the '&' ampersand character tells the HTML parser if there is an entity
that needs to be replaced. In your example URL above, the HTML parser
will try to replace '&report' with an appropriate character from the
entities in the DTD for that HTML version. In order to correct this,
you encode the ampersand as & and the HTML parser replaces it with
an ampersand character. When you follow the URL you go to the &report
URL, not the &report URL that you seem to think. If your browser is
going to &report, then your browser has a bug.
Ok, I wrongly explained me : I mixed the url in the html and the url that
is displayed in the adress bar in my explanation.
My problem is to go to the http://foo&bar page so (you are 100% right) to
have a "http://foo&bar"; link in my html.
But the thing is in fact that, when I put "http://foo&bar"; in my
navigation.xml, I got a "http://foo&bar"; in my html : the entity is
escaped a second time during the parsing.
And of course putting a "http://foo&bar"; in my xml file make the parser
turn angry.
Is it clearer ?

What happens if you use the numeric entity instead of the mnemonic
entiy? Despite & being defined in the XML specification, the
project XML files don't have a DTD and the XML schema does not provide a
way to specify mnemonic entities. Perhaps the parser is looking for
what to replace & with but not finding a replacement since there is
no DTD. A numeric entity will bypass any DTD lookup.
