how to print "&" character in xslt?

I'm working with XSLT 1.0 and I would liked to print "&" (ampersand) character, as it is special character in xslt, it gives error. So please suggest the option. As we use < to p开发者_Go百科rint "<" character.

use encoded version of & sign

&

& or ($amp; if $lt; works) will solve.
