Describe your issue

& giving an error

How can the issue be reproduced?

Just following this
https://docs.laravel-excel.com/3.1/exports/from-view.html

and view write like this

What should be the expected behaviour?

currently, only when I have & then I got the error
should be no error I think?
when I try to passing & instead of &, I didn' get error. so It should be on code issue actually can't take handle for &

Afraid that is something that you have to report at PhpSpreadsheet, as it's their reader that errors on this.

Not sure if it could have anything to do with the missing tag.

Alternatively you could check if your file is UTF-8 encoded.

as per my test yesterday I just simply type & on my keyboard
and also other's simple special char is working fine I think like #@%
so not sure if every type on my keyboard have diff encoded type.

but for my current solution for dynamic content is I just simply make & = &
and all working fine now.
but are should I always do like that ?
