emacs 2025-10-27

in emacs markdown mode when I have a link like:

([Open this example on the Squint playground](
and I click it, the squint playground cannot decode the src parameter because emacs markdown-mode converts percent signs into something else. However, when I copy/paste the link it works. How can I fix this?

The issue was fixed by them!

your markdown link seems to include the trailing parenthesis in the link: mtAQAA))

or atleast that's how slack seems to interpret that

ok different example without parens, same problem:

- [Input field + counter]()

thanks, that works in slack, but not in markdown-mode

strange.. seems that the culprit is markdown-link-at-pos calling url-unhex-string on it, I would've thought that the browser would re-escape them anyway

thanks, I guess I'll file an issue with them
