It appears that the markdown export process spoils URLs that conain the char '=' by wrongly replacing it with '%3D'. This happens with org-links [[url][some_text]], but not with plain URLs. I took a quick look at the defun 'org-md-link' and could see that the org-link URLs are already spoiled when they get retrieved as 'raw-path' by the line: (t (let* ((raw-path (org-element-property :path link)) So, I got stuck there. Hoping that it's easy to resolve this bug for people more familier with the new exporter. All best, mc -- Fetch my gnupg key: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7E3CA33F
