However, http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_12 recommends that ampersands are actually encoded with the HTML entity (&amp. This is especially important in SVG as the interpreter rejects URLs containing raw ampersands. Edited: Saturday, January 27, 2007 by GenoProSupport

The ampersand (`&`) will be encoded as `%26`. Edited: Saturday, January 27, 2007 by GenoProSupport
