Escape Characters

Is it necessary to escape the ampersand (&) in the Parent and child category names? Also is it necessary to escape it in the Product Names and Product Descriptions?

Re: Escape Characters

this would definately be best practise for browser output anyway regardless of the shopping cart you are using? particularly for category names, image names / urls and generally anything that will be crawled
