I have an xml that contains some special characters like & and whitespaces.

I want to handle these special characters in xsl.
How can I handle special characters in xsl?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="cpdhtml.xsl"?>
<pmd-cpd>
    <duplication lines="72" tokens="75">
        <file line="632" path="M:\PBA0039 & Code\Common\ssc\src\Main.c"/>
        <file line="1802" path="M:\PBA0039 & Code\Common\ssc\src\link1.c"/>
    </duplication>
</pmd-cpd>

Here you can see & in path. It gives error while transforming xml.
Please help me to fix this problem.

    You need to escape them, as you do in any XML document.

    The escape for & is &amp;.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="cpdhtml.xsl"?>
<pmd-cpd>
    <duplication lines="72" tokens="75">
        <file line="632" path="M:\PBA0039 &amp; Code\Common\ssc\src\Main.c"/>
        <file line="1802" path="M:\PBA0039 &amp; Code\Common\ssc\src\link1.c"/>
    </duplication>
</pmd-cpd>
