Underscores in HTML Exported URLs get backslashes added

Underscores in HTML Exported URLs get backslashes added

[Jonathan Arkell]

Hi list

I am having a problem, and my google-fu is a little weak in finding the solution.  Whenever I do an HTML export of an org-page if a URL contains underscores in it it will be exported escaped with a backslash in the text of the url.

For instance if I have an org buffer:

** Some foo title for context

this is an url:  http://somefoo.com/this_is_broken



Will get exported to:

<h2 id="sec-2"> Some foo title for context </h2>
<p> this is an url:  <a href="http://somefoo.com/this_is_broken">http://somefoo.com/this\_is\_broken</a></p>


Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Thanks!

Hi Jonathan,

Just wrap the http:// ... in [[ ]] as in
[[http://somefoo.com/this_is_broken]]

This happens automatically, even when inbuffer links are not surrounded
by brackets -- unless some org-export-preprocess-final-hook is reverting
the normalization of links.

Jonathan, what version of Org are you using? 

Can you reproduce your problem with a bare Emacs (~$ emacs -q)?

Thanks,

Bastien,

I can reproduce this behaviour with a minimal emacs setup at commit
