Showing us how you are writing this out would help.
But taking a wild guess, I suspect you need to say
& instead of just plain &.

I am writing it as &
i.e i need to write in output xml &num I write in xslt as &num
and the resulting xml contains &num as expected, when I try to validate the output xml it says ; expected.

Can you paste an example here?
Remember in your code you need to say &nnn; - the final semicolon
is necessary.

I am using the follo code, which gives the expected result, but the resulting xml is not well formed and I get a message saying ; expected.

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;name:</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>


I have also tried:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;amp;name:</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
this gives output as &amp;name: but in browser view gives the expected contents. which one is right..

Avoid using xsl:disable-output-escaping.

It's still not quite clear what you want.
Either use <xsl:text>&amp;name:</xsl:text>
to get &name: into the output, or use
<xsl:text>&amp;amp;name:</xsl:text> to get
&amp;name: into the output.

The reason it might work in a browser is that
browsers are design to handle poorly-formed
HTML, but XML was designed to transfer data
with high fidelity. So XML is less forgiving.
But you should be able to satisfy both.
