Same as or 99% similar to
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-08/msg00513.html
1. When link is entered through C-c C-l org unescapes it. As a result
the link in the buffer IS DIFFERENT from the entered URL.
This is a CRITICAL bug.
,---- In org-insert-link
|
| (setq link (read-string "Link: "
| (org-link-unescape
| (org-match-string-no-properties 1))))
`----
2. When the Org buffer is exported to html or odt
,---- In org-html-handle-links
| (setq path (save-match-data (org-link-unescape <==
| (match-string 3 line))))
| (setq type (cond
| ((match-end 2) (match-string 2 line))
| ((save-match-data
| (or (file-name-absolute-p path)
| (string-match "^\\.\\.?/" path)))
| "file")
| (t "internal")))
| (setq path (org-extract-attributes (org-link-unescape path))) <==
`----
link unescape happens twice. Asymmetry due to One link escape + two link
unescape asymmetry creates problem on export.
Based on historical research, the second org-link-unescape can be
removed. The fact that attributes can be entered at C-c C-l prompt is
largely documented and so the second call to org-link-unescape can
largely be removed.
