Link to url with the character ')' in the url

How to add an url that contains a ')', it looks like the matching for the url is lazy and stops after the first closing parenthesis. For instance :&nbsp;[NG]( <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)#Neutral_good" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)#Neutral_good</a> ) returns 'NG#Neutral_good)' with NG being a link to ' <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons</a> '. The part ' )#Neutral_good ' of the url is missing in the link and added as a regular text.

I wouldn't call that lazy so much as unexpected. Even knowing a url could contain parenthesis, I can't think of how I'd write a parser to account for it. This best you could hope for is to try encoding it: [NG]( <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons%29#Neutral_good" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons%29#Neutral_good</a> )&nbsp;

Thanks, the encoding indeed works well for the wikipedia link but I have an other link where it is not working, I don't really see why...&nbsp; [Spell Scroll]( X XX(YYY)ZZZ)&nbsp;&nbsp; [Spell Scroll]( X XX %26 YYY %29 ZZZ) 1. clearly not works due to the ouput being 'ZZZ)'&nbsp; 2. the output is fine with 'Spell Scroll' and the link is as expected but the link looks redirected&nbsp; PD : The lazy word may not be well choosen, I was referring to a lazy matching when your matching engine stops at the first occurrence found (compared to a greedy one).

I'd suggest trying the encoded links directly in the browser, or creating shortened URLs to use instead via something like tinyurl.&nbsp;

Ok, I like the tiny url idea. Not totally automatisable but I will see at the usage. thx
