    Special characters in subtitles

    I've ripped the subtitle of a movie that contains the "&" character. But when I play the Divx-movie with subtitles, instead of showing the "&" it shows "_" (an underscore). Why is this??
    Is there a command I can use instead, or maybe the "&" character has to be written in ASCII-code??

    To have italics in the subtitle I use the characters {y:i} in front of the sentence I want in italics style.
    Is there a simillar method for the "&" character??

    Hope to have your expert advise on this one.....

    EUREKA !!!

    Found the answer by e-mailing.

    Just put a "&" in front of the "&" character - i.e. "&&". Then the output is just one "&".
    Of course without the quotes.

    Works like a charm.
