Encoding weirdness with non-ASCII characters and spaces in file links
I’m writing MarkDown notes often also in languages that are not English and include non-ASCII letters. As such I sometimes store files with names that include non-ASCII characters too. Very regularly my file names include spaces too.
Here is where I found some weirdness when it comes to Marksman (at least using it in Helix).
What I would like is to continue using links to files that make sense to the filesystem/desktop too, so even if I click on then through a MarkDown viewer (or GitHub/GitLab), I get to the right file. At the very least, I would like that Marksman does not auto-generate file links that do not work elsewhere.
Testing
These are the test files I’m looking at:
.
├── blu.markdown
├── nekje
│ ├── bla je.markdown
│ └── bla.markdown
└── šumnik.markdown
Works
The following links work, (kinda) as expected:
[inline](<./nekje/bla.markdown#test>)
[[bla#test]]
[[bla je#ha]]
[note the space](</nekje/bla je.markdown>)
[note the space](<./nekje/bla je.markdown>)
[note the space](<./nekje/bla je.markdown#ha>)
These are auto-generated and work, but look weird (and probably don’t work elsewhere):
[note the space](/nekje/bla%20je.markdown)
[note the special char](/%C5%A1umnik.markdown)
Does not work
And these simply do not work (within Marksman), although I would assume they should:
[test][beh]
[beh]: ./nekje/bla je.markdown
[test][beh]
[beh]: <./nekje/bla je.markdown>
[note the space](<./nekje/bla je.markdown>#ha)
