title: Thymeleaf parsing error due to link with &
body: <p>My link:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-color="white" data-pin-
  count="beside" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?

  &lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Currently thymeleaf thinks that the &amp; in the url should be followed by an ';' character.</p>
  
  <p>Exception message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The reference to entity "media" must end with the ';' delimiter.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get rid of the &amp; signs and still have a functional url? Or is there any way to tell thyemleaf to 'overlook' the &amp; signs in the url?</p>
