title: Escape an & (ampersand) at the start of a YAML entry?
body: <p>An ampersand at the start of a YAML entry is normally seen as a label for a set of data that can be referenced later.  How do you escape a legitimate ampersand at the start of a YAML entry.  For example:</p>
  
  <p>---<br>
  - news:<br>
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;news_text: &amp;ldquo;Text!&amp;rsquo;</p>
  
  <p>I am looking to not have &amp;ldquo be a label within the yaml file, but rather when I get parse the YAML file to have the news_text come back with the &amp;ldquo; in the entry.</p>
