Description

Create a test file: test.xml When this is run as an Alloy app, Label 1 renders incorrectly. Label 2 renders correctly. I expected Label 1 to output as Label 2 does. But it renders like this: Year & Make

    In XML, if you need an ampersand in the content of an element, you need to use the XML-safe notation: 
       <Alloy>
     <Window fullscreen="true" id="window">
       <Label>Year & Make</Label>
       <Label text="Year & Make"/>
     </Window>
   </Alloy>
    Also, since you've indicated no styles, there's a chance they are sitting on top of each other.

    {noformat}&{noformat} didn't work for me, however {noformat}\u0026{noformat} did.

    Since this is not reproducible, we are closing this.
