[textile] %20 in a url doesn't work.
When I try to use textile to create a link to a URL that contains a space, I’m finding that the “%20“s used in the file name are being changed to %2520 which obviously breaks the link.
Unfortunately I don’t have access to the documents that are being linked to in order to remove the space.
Without resorting to html, is there anything else I can do?

An article wrapped in …
<txp:rah_replace from="%2520" to="%20">
Article
</txp:rah_replace>… will work.

Thanks Uli, that works a treat. Is this something that needs to be fixed in textile? Should I report it somewhere?

Thats usually a problem with “office” PDFs (or: that’s where I know them from). Try those with an HTTP link.
Edit 2: Hm, I have enough %2520s in my source code. Even with html suffixes and all plugins off. Weird results.

Re: [textile] %20 in a url doesn't work.
It’s fine when you specify the full url, but when you use a relative (local) path, bad things happen.
Try:
"Wiked space snakes":/basket%20of%20snakes/wiked%20rattling%20snakesWhich generates:
<p><a href="/basket%2520of%2520snakes/wiked%2520rattling%2520snakes">Wiked space snakes</a></p>Offline

I get %2520s even on URLs that point into the wild. Clean vanilla 4.5.4. Wanted to exclude that it might stem from plugin traces (like hak_tinymce) and quickly set up a new TXP.

Textpattern 4.5.x was released last year, which means it uses year old Textile version. Taking a peek at the changelog, this particular issue with URL encoding was fixed 8 months ago in 2.5.0/3.5.0 releases.

I still can not reproduce it either on master, 2.5-dev, v2.5.1 or v3.5.1, or with Textpattern 4.6-dev. It consistently generates:
