You need to escape some of these characters in your data.
For & use & instead.
For < and > use < and >
Inside attribute values, for " and ' use " and '
(you can quote them in other places too but it is not necessary)
For example,
<activity whose="Susan's">R & D budget < 30000</activity>
might be quoted as
<activity whose="Susan's">R & D budget ^lt; 30000</activity>
You only need to quote " in attribute values if " was used for the
quotes and the same with ', like this
<activity whose='Susan's'>....
You do not need to use a DTD for any of this.
