| More about Unsafe
CharactersThe
backslash is one of several characters considered unsafe
in URLs for one reason or another. Some of the unsafe
characters can be encoded in hexadecimal when required as
part of a URL. These characters and their codes are
" " (space) %20, "<" %3C, ">"
%3E, """ (double quote) %22, "#"
%23, and "%" %25. Other unsafe characters should be avoided at all costs, because gateways and other transport agents are known to sometimes modify them. These characters are "[" %5B, "]" %5D, "{" %7B, "}" %7D, "|" %7C, "\" %5C, "^" %5E, "~" %7E, and "`" %60. For further reading, the authorative document on unsafe characters is http://www.imc.org/rfc1738. |

| HTML Slasher Details of
OperationHTML
Slasher finds backslashes in the following URLs, and
converts them to slashes. The URLs can be local or
external, with paths in either relative or absolute
addressing format. HTML Slasher ignores everything but
backslashes, and leaves the original file formatting
intact. Slasher allows for backups to be made of any file
it modifies. |

repairs are complete, HTML Slasher generates a report
showing the number of URLs repaired in each file. The
report can be printed or saved as a text file. |
