No, there isn't.  '& ' may only be used as a markup delimiter.  You'll have
to pre-process the documents, or ask your client to generate XML and not
something which looks like XML but isn't really XML.  I would suggest the
later, since you'll be doing them a favor, although they may not know it
yet.

We have a situation where a client has the ampersand character in product
descriptions submitted to us in XML.  For a fictious example, assume
<description>M & M</description>.  The crimson parser fails with "Illegal
character or entity reference syntax".

Is there anyway around this problem short of writing a replacement script
before sending it to the parser?

Thanks in advance.

Scott
