[Moin-user] URL Referencing with Spaces in File Strings

[Brian Dorsey]

Here is what I ended up doing to link to files with spaces on remote NT
servers:

[file://servername/toolsanddocs/docs/Build%20Functional%20Requirements.doc
Build Functional Requirements]

This ends up turning into a nice link with a little floppy next to it.

Take care,
-Brian
