can't have vars in URL when using XSLT

[Robo]

//edit: doh, should have separated the & a m p ; bit
//I've separted the amp bit so it shows up in this post

I'm making a XSL template, and one bit of the template is:

<a href="profile.php?compId=3&c=3&id=3">

And XSL didn't like the & characters at the end of the URL, this works however:

<a href="profile.php?compId=3& a m p ;c=3& a m p ;id=3">

But it's a hassle to change all the & to & a m p ;, and it would seem stupid to not have an alternative solution to this problem.

Is there a way to solve this?
