Links with URL encoded spaces

[mikkmart]

I'm not sure how to make a reprex for roxygen2, but here's an example file to reproduce the problem:

#' Test docs
#'
#' [link text](https://foo.bar/link%20target)
#'
#' @name test
NULL

When rozygenize()ing this file, I get a warning citing @description mismatched braces or quotes and the description block is not rendered. Replacing the URL encoded space (%20) in the link with a real space fixes the rendering but breaks the markdown so that it's no longer recognized as a link.

Actually, \href{https://foo.bar/link%20target}{link text} works so I guess it's something to do with the markdown?

Yeah, it seems that you need to escape % in link targets currently:

#' [link text](https://foo.bar/link\%20target)

I would consider this a bug.
