Subject: Support input of non-ASCII characters in hyperlinks
X-Git-Tag: 2.3.2~135
X-Git-Url: https://git.lyx.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae196dd70c76406a07f3623cfb40d7c9cc80372f;p=features.git

Support input of non-ASCII characters in hyperlinks

We transform them to hex representation via
QByteArray::toPercentEncoding()

Fixes: #11165
(cherry picked from commit 01d8f418943f5f63f329658d387a7dbd9a024c91)
