Using Special XML Characters in Batch Files

There are a number of characters that require special treatment to include them as part of a string in xml files. This is important to be aware of when writing batch files.

Invalid use of the & character in an XML string:

<Organization>Discovery & Auditing</Organization>

Valid use of the & character in an XML string XML:

<Organization>Discovery &amp; Auditing</Organization>

The '&' used in the invalid string is replaced by '&' in the valid use of the XML string.
