Description
I get the following error when I try to synch up any value containing an ampersand or a unicode character:
Salesforce Error: SoapFault The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.
How have other folks dealt with this?

This patch runs values through
htmlentitiesduringsalesforce_api_fieldmap_export_create, so that special html characters are encoded before SOAP gets its hands on the sobject.I have used this patch with some success, but I don't think it's a complete solution to this issue.
