Hi David,
Thanks for replying;
I don't understand what you mean. I was not aware off url-encoding, but
found help here:
http://www.eskimo.com/~bloo/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm
<http://www.eskimo.com/%7Ebloo/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm>
So far so good.
The way I interpret this is that I can 'replace' [square brackets] in
orgmode with %5Bsquare brackets%5D
However when I try this, org does not 'convert' to a link...? What am I
missing?
Perhaps for clarification:
The link I used in my example may be confusing, it is a long UNC path to
a file on a network server that has somewhere [32] in it's name.
It's the [32] that seems to confuse org's linking.
I also noticed when hovering over [32] that org seems to recognize this
as a footnote??
Thanks,
Erwin
