If I put the & symbol into the content of an article page, the system freaks out (v2.2.3). This is what I get:
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://www.unclebubby.com/wavs2/action-adventure/
Line Number 248, Column 43: <li class="newsSummary">In a dystopic & crime ridden Detroit, a terminally wounded

It doesn't care but '&' isnt valid xhtml/xml so what you need to do is add .XML to your variable in the template. (Assuming you use something like Summary...
Another option is to remove the xml prolog from the top of your Page.ss template, because it'll probably get broken again.
What's happening here is that the page is rendering invalid xhtml in a strict xml page, it's not really related to the system.
& is invalid xhtml. Instead you can replace it with & This is the ascii character code for &.
@JasonS Normally you don't need to do this yourself for the stuff you put in a HtmlEditorField.
As more clarification, it works fine in the title field but freaks out if it's in the content field. I get that it's invalid XML, I just don't get why it's an issue coming out of a text field that it should only be interpreting as HTML, not XML, right?
@dio5 - My template is straight out of the tutorials. Where, specifically, would I need to make changes?
@JasonS - The code behind the field actually uses &
<p align="center"> In a dystopic & crime ridden Detroit, ...The workaround is to spell it out, obviously.
Just had a look at http://www.unclebubby.com/wavs2/action-adventure/ - saw you replaced it with 'and'.
I don't know what's in the tutorials, so if you could show us yr template code? It's probably the method you use on the holder page to display just a part of the text that's causing it. But if the source code of that page shows & as well?!
