How to replace ampersand in template?

Question

XSL & XSLT

The replace-string function is taken
from here
, I call

<xsl:call-template name="replace-string">
                    <xsl:with-param name="text" select="@custom:src"/>
                    <xsl:with-param name="replace" select="'&amp;'" />
                    <xsl:with-param name="with" select="' '"/>
                </xsl:call-template>

but it replaces not the substring '&' but only one symbol &, i.e. I get ' amp;' Instead of a space
, what am I doing wrong?

Use translate. Down with weird features

<root>
      <foo>123&amp;456</foo>
</root>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
  <xsl:template match="/root/foo">
    <xsl:value-of select="translate(., '&amp;', ' ')"/>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
