To represent an ampersand in XML you can either go & or
<![CDATA[&]]> these mean the same thing and either of them will, in XSLT,
result in a string value of a string of length 1 consisting of a single
ampersand character. This is presumably what you want.

If you output a string containing an ampersand from xslt using the text
output method you get a & but if you output it using the html or xml
methods you get any XML syntax that would result in a single & being
reported by the parser, typically xslt systems use either &amp; or
<![CDATA[&]]>.

What exactly was the problem that you were having?
