| Summary | In file literal, % MUST be followed by 2 hex chars, in email and url literal, it MAY occur alone |
|---|---|
| Description | To escape a special character in file literals, one can use ^ or %. The latter MUST be followed by 2 hex characters. In email and url literals, % + 2 hex chars serves the same function, but a single % or a % followed by one arbitrary character, or by 2 characters which do NOT constitute a hexadecimal number between 00 and FF, are also allowed. |
| Example code |
>> to-string %a%20b == "a b" >> to-string %a%2h ** Syntax error: invalid "file" -- "%a%2h" >> to-string %a%2 ** Syntax error: invalid "file" -- "%a%2" >> to-string %a% ** Syntax error: invalid "file" -- "%a%" >> to-string a@b%20c == "a@b c" >> to-string a@b%2h == "a@b%2h" >> to-string a@b%2 == "a@b%2" >> to-string a@b% == "a@b%" |

The more lax treatment of % in email! and url! syntax should be considered a serious bug. |

This was allowed intentionally, but on second thought, better to make it more restrictive. |
