When HTML entities such as ™ are used in a title, the resulting XML output is incorrectly generated. Instead of the expected or similar element, the ampersand in the entity is double-escaped.

Test case:

/** \mainpage
*

• \section Sec_Info About the Contoso ™ project.
• This section describes the Contoso ™ project.
  */

Generated XML:

<title>About the Contoso &trade; project.</title> This section describes the Contoso project.
