Hello -

I'm struggling with org-protocol capturing text when it includes the symbol &. Here's an example of what I'm sending:

emacsclient "org-protocol://capture?url=foo.com&title=bar&body=foobar&foobar2"

but the foobar2 doesn't get captured because of the &. Escaping it doesn't seem to help.

How should I format text that includes & so that it gets properly captured?

Thanks,
Alex
