RE: Digester does not like '&'

[Andy Schmidgall]

Well, I know & is the character entity for &, but I'm just not clear
on why & works in this case... Is it simply because '&' is flagged
in the parser as reserved for entities of the form "&xxx;", or is there
another reason? That's all I was asking. Sorry if I wasn't clear :)

& is the character entity for the ampersand sign '&'.

NB. This is so basic that you absolutely should look this
up when seriously doing web development.

I'm sure I'm demonstrating a lack of basic knowledge about character
encoding here, but why does "&amp;" work when '&' doesn't? The thing
that gets me is that they both have '&' in them :)
