Bug parsing links

Meta

Hi, @sam I suppose

I ran into an issue where a link is not being parsed correctly:

http://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/5/help/en-us/index.htm#commands/explodeblock.htm?Highlight=explode blocks

The space between the last 2 words is not being parsed as part of the link:

[link to site](http://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/5/help/en-us/index.htm#commands/explodeblock.htm?Highlight=explode blocks)

with the space replaced with %20:

[link to site](http://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/5/help/en-us/index.htm#commands/explodeblock.htm?Highlight=explode%20blocks)

link to site

with the space replaced with +:

[link to site](http://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/5/help/en-us/index.htm#commands/explodeblock.htm?Highlight=explode+blocks)

link to site

Yes, I’ve run into that as well.

@discourse replied that URLs with spaces are technically invalid but that at some point in time the discourse dialog box for these links could be smart enough to deal with them.

Since we are frequently linking to McNeel help files that are producing these spaces, perhaps McNeel could also look into that from their side…
