I am trying to put link under label which will scroll down to the section down in the VF page. I am getting an Error

Error Error: LeadDetail line 123, column 52: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference
Error Error: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.

 <apex:pageblocksectionitem > <apex:outputText value="D & B Company Name \<a name="#detailList"\>more...\</a\>" escape="true"/> <apex:outputField value="{!RH_Lead__c.Company_Name1__c}"/> </apex:pageblocksectionitem>

detailList is a section at the bottom.

Replace & with &amp; in the value attribute

EDIT: you need to replace all the reserved characters (&, <, > etc) with their named character entity reference ("escaped" values) in attributes, because the attributes are parsed - < needs to be &lt;
