Hi all,
I just can't seem to find in the docs what the & character is for,
I suspect it's something like internationalization but I thought that is
what the % character is for.

anyone know?

thank in advance

in what context?

F&ile <- most likely to highlight the 'i' character for menus

& <- XML
