The following use of character entities & aborts in ConTeXt. That is of course because the # is seen as a parameter. Changing this to &\#xxx; or &\letterhash xxx; typesets & as is, but that is not the intention, because an ampersand should appear. So, how do I proceed here?


Minimal example:
% test character entity failure.
\startxmlsetups demo:entity
	\xmlsetsetup{#1}{root}{demo:entity:*}
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlregisterdocumentsetup{demo}{demo:entity}
\startxmlsetups demo:entity:root
	\blank Start test:\crlf
	root: <amp> = "&amp;"\crlf
	root: <number> = "&\letterhash 038;”\crlf % &\#038; produces the same
	End test\blank
\stopxmlsetups
\startbuffer[demo]
<root></root>
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\currentdate-\currenttime\quad\ConTeXt-version=\contextversion\blank
{\bf Testing use of character entities}\blank
These should produce the same result: \type{&amp;} and \type{&#038;}\blank
\xmlprocessbuffer{demo}{demo}{}\blank
\stoptext
