vbscript create-convert xml with special characters

[NeunteETatt]

I'm creating a xml file in a .vbs file with node values like the following,\[code\] <car>David's</car> <company>Mannar & Co.</company>\[/code\]While parsing this xml, I find issues with &, etc.I want to convert all possible xml special characters with encoded characters(with a function or something) so that while parsing I get the original content. Thanking you.
