Steps to reproduce

Create a note with a formatted (this style []()) link
Export note to PDF

Click link

Expected result

The link opens properly

Actual result

a (#) in the url got replaced/encoded with (%23), making the site return a 404

Environment

  • Operating system: Mac
  • Obsidian version: 0.10.6

Extra

I looked through open bugs and did not see anything related though I may have missed something. Thanks in advance.

can you share a practical example?

It is generally correct to replace # to %23 so I am no sure we are donig anything wrong here

4

Sure! The link i was working with https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/flowchart?id=flowcharts-basic-syntax breaks with the replacement

5

ok, it’s fragment navigation. WE’ll look into it.

Any update on this issue?

The screenshot below is of a PDF created from an Obsidian note, and it shows the URL with the hashtag included. The link works as it should. Doesn’t work on your install?
