Error rendering '&' in telerik html text box

How can I handle the ampersand character ("&") in the Telerik HTML text box? During rendering this gives me an error. Also, does anyone know of any other character that might cause errors in the HTML text box?

Ampersand is a special character in HTML that indicates the start of an escape sequence (so you can do something like ©to get a copyright character, etc.). If you want to display an ampersand, you need to avoid it. Therefore, if you replace all ampersands with &, this should take care of the error.

However, if at your input there were ampersands that were already escaped - for example, perhaps your data had ©- you will not want to avoid this ampersand. But if your data will not contain any of these ampersands, a simple replacement should be good.

You also need to replace the <> characters &lt;with a larger and smaller character (> and <).
