Hi,

in the wikipedia-de.zim file it seems that in the url, the " " character
is always replaced by the "+" character. This means that the article
with the URL (in the ZIM) "Deutscher Badminton-Club Bonn" will have
links pointing on it in the HTML looking like
"Deutscher+Badminton-Club+Bonn". For this reason I'm not able to open
link containing more than a word.

Is that an error? This seems to me not to be compliant with the URL
standards?

If not how to deal with it? especially how should we represent the "+"
character?

Regards
Emmanuel

OK, this is a misunderstood on my side. Forget it.
