[xsl] escaping ampersands in replace function

Subject: [xsl] escaping ampersands in replace function

I'm trying to replace all ampersands in a string to 'and'. Long story short:
XSLT counts length as 1 but SQL Server counts length as 5, so need to replace.

I'm using XSLT2's replace function against a string but am having problems
escaping the ampersand. I've tried various methods, but with no luck.

replace($l_TempString, '\&amp;amp;', 'and')

Any insight will be appreciated.

Thanks
