    Quck question about &


    I know that when you put the "&" into a form, it uses it as a shortcut. There's a way to write it, but I forgot how. I need "EH&S" in a form. What comes out is, "EHS". I can't remember how to write it so that it reads correctly.

    This is called 'escaping' special characters so they are recognized as normal text.
