[SalesForce] salesforce lightning component not accepting ‘&’ character

I have a default attribute of type String in my lightning component. I need set the default value of this attribute as – "/apex/pagename?opr=convert&opptyId=someid'. but it is not accepting the & character. It is showing this error when saved:

ParseError at [row,col]:[5,95]
Message: The reference to entity "opptyId" must end with the ';' delimiter.

I am using sublime text.

Try Like this use &

 <aura:attribute name="text" type="String" Default="/apex/pagename?opr=convert&amp;opptyId=someid" />

The use of double dashes/hyphens inside comments is invalid in HTML, XML, and XHTML:

The Importance of Correct HTML Commenting

Lightning Component markup is XML, and the generated markup on the client is HTML. The Lightning markup might generate something such as:

<!-- <input class="my-invalid--class-name" value="Foo"/> -->

I do not know where the -- trend in style classes comes from, but clearly they weren't thinking about this clearly!

Maybe you can replace & by

&amp;

to have :

<a aura:id="child321" href="{!'/apex/viewAllRegionsVerticalHierarchyCR?id='+v.acco‌untId1+'&amp;Region='+it‌em.key}"> <h3>View all<br/>{!item.value} Children<br/>Of {!item.key} Region</h3></a>

This is the value to use in evaluable conditional expressions so maybe it's the same inside an expression string
