//

// Purpose: Changes hexcharacter codes in wikilinks to actual unicode characters
//
// Examples: [[Stra%C3%9Fe|street]] -> [[Straße|street]]
//           [[AutoEd#History_.281990.29|History]] ->
//               [[AutoEd#History (1990)|History]]

// Comments (CharlotteWeb):
// To keep things simple we'll ignore all image links. because some people prefer
// underscores in the file name and the caption can contain god-knows-what.
// one easy way is to flag them with a character which should never be used,
// but if it is already present we have a problem, so let's just quit.
