This PR fixes #603.
The issue was with image URLs and code blocks. Putting a code block in the image URL (
![](`code here`)
) caused the URL to be hashed and protected from further modification. Code blocks are expected to contain URL unsafe characters like quotes so this is normal.The problem was that in
_protect_url
, we attempt to escape any URL unsafe characters, but since the URL has been hashed it is ineffective.This PR fixes this by completely unhashing the image URL before passing it to
_protect_url
, which allows special characters to be escaped
