Backslash in Headline breaks TOC in HTML output

Post by King_Haggard »

I have some headlines that contain a folder path. For example: "G:\Schreibwerk"
In my TOC I let Flare auto-generate the sub-entries

The link in the TOC of the HTML output is:

Code: Select all

<a href="file:///C:/[my path]/Default.htm#Systemkonfiguration/System%C3%BCbersicht.htm?TocPath=System%25C3%25BCbersicht%257C2%2520Anwenderarbeitsplatz%257C2.2%2520Installationen%2520auf%2520den%2520Anwenderarbeitspl%25C3%25A4tzen%257C2.2.2%2520Clientseitige%2520Dateiverzeichnisse%257C_____5">
This does not link to the headline because the backslash cannot be expressed as code (like "%C3%BC" for "ü"). Therefore the code for the headline is missing between "System%C3%BCbersicht.htm" and "?TocPath=".

I can do without the backslashes but maybe there is an elegant fix for that?

That's basic html.

You cannot put slashes in a URL. A slash in any form in a URL is interpreted as reaching a new sub-directory.
