I've been parsing existing HTML with BeautifulSoup, and occasionally
hit content which has something like "Design & Advertising", that is,
an "&" instead of an "&". Is there some way I can get BeautifulSoup
to clean those up? There are various parsing options related to "&"
handling, but none of them seem to do quite the right thing.
If I write the BeautifulSoup parse tree back out with "prettify",
the loose "&" is still in there. So the output is
rejected by XML parsers. Which is why this is a problem.
I need valid XML out, even if what went in wasn't quite valid.
