Re: [Phpwiki-talk] chars in URLs like ? / & : % + # $ @ etc.

[Micki K. <mic...@co...>]

Thanks Reini!

I'm also talking specifically about URLs that are entered into named 
references, ie:

[ Your Link Here | http://server/page.php?option=one&value=3 ]

Do the recent fixes permit these more complex named references using 
such chars in their URLs?

Thanks!
Micki
