File name with space

File name with space

How do I link a local file or folder that has space? Looks like the link
goes broken.

e.g. file+sys:///Users/chris/projects/marketing plan for 2014 <-- doesn't
work.

I tried:

file+sys:///Users/chris/projects/marketing\ plan\ for\ 2014 <-- which also
doesn't work.

file+sys:///Users/chris/projects/marketing%20plan%20for%202014

should work at least in the buffer and HTML export.

Slightly off topic: using spaces in filenames is asking for trouble.
(Personally, I stick (almost exclusively) to [a-z0-9-].)

Best,

Besides the solution posted before, I prefer:

[[file+sys:///Users/chris/projects/marketing plan for 2014]]
