Hi,

I've noticed that some writers on wiki articles use improper (not allowed) characters (such as, e.g., :,;()äöüß) in IDs and the corresponding references (href="..).

In the E-Books created by the Wiki Reader plugin, these characters are replaced in either the references or in the IDs (cannot remember which one) but not in both, which results in broken links.

Is there a simple way for replacing these characters in both the IDs and the reference? For instance in a pre-processing stage before calibre converts a Wiki-page to the final E-Book?

Regards,

McDummy
