Characters in XML

Permalink Browser Info Environment
I just created an XML file from scratch to import products. I kept getting an error on import and went through any special characters that may be in the code. I found the the ampersand "&" causes the error.

Just thought I'd pass this along to anyone else who may get an error.

If you see Todd's script what it does is wraps everything in CDATA tags. In XML what that does is allow for the otherwise normally omitted use of certain special characters like &, < or >, and even ".
