I want to make a node like this:
  <topic name="software & hardware">
by doing this:
  xmlSetProp(topic_node, "name", "software & hardware");

But libxml complains of an unterminated entity because of the &. From
looking at the documentation, I think I need to use
xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant, which will convert the & to something. Is
this right? How do I decode it? Thanks!
