The following citEntry includes a url with %3A and other encodings

citEntry(entry="article",
         title = "Software for Computing and Annotating Genomic Ranges",
         author = personList( as.person("Michael Lawrence" )),
         year = 2013,
         journal = "{PLoS} Computational Biology",
         volume = "9",
         issue = "8",
         doi = "10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003118",
url = "http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1003118";,
         textVersion = "Lawrence M..." )

Evaluating this as R code doesn't parse correctly and generates a warning

Lawrence M (2013). “Software for Computing and Annotating Genomic
Ranges.” _PLoS Computational Biology_, *9*. <URL:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003118>, <URL:
http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1003118}.>
Warning message:
In parse_Rd(Rd, encoding = encoding, fragment = fragment, ...) :
  <connection>:5: unexpected END_OF_INPUT '
'

A work-around is, apparently, to quote the %, \\%3A etc., but is this the intention?

Also, citEntry points to bibentry points to *Entry Fields*, but the 'url' tag is not mentioned there, even though url appears in the examples; if the list of supported tags is not easy to enumerate, perhaps some insight can be provided at this point as to how the supported tags are determined?

Thanks
