Thank you for the tool. This helped me to find solution that preserves consecutive spaces. Use html “pre” tag instead of backticks in link text. That preserves consecutive spaces but does not preserve backslash before underscore (reported here).
[<pre>\\10.0.0.150\path\to\_stupid··Directory·name</pre>](file://///10.0.0.150/path/to/_stupid%20%20Directory%20name)
The solution with backticks on the other hand preserves backslash before underscore but does not preserve consecutive whitespace.
[`\\10.0.0.150\path\to\_stupid··Directory·name`](file://///10.0.0.150/path/to/_stupid%20%20Directory%20name)
So the issue is solved as long as both issues do not occur together in the same path.
