Hyperlink navigation to local file paths with a `\` backslash is not supported.
Hyperlink navigation to local file paths with a \
backslash is not supported.
For example, if I have a markdown document with a relative file URL using Windows file path separators like this.
[MyFile](files\MyFile.md)
Following the link will generate a path like this which doesn't resolve to a local file URL.
As you can see, the \
characters were replaces with %5C
.
file:///G:/files%5CMyFile.md
The user side solution is to use /
forward slashes for markdown documents that navigate to file URLs.
I don't know if you want to call this a bug or feature request. It's up to you if you want to accommodate this.
Thanks for the neat tool :)
