Do Pages with Punctuation in their Title have Broken Links when Exported to HTML?

Question

Comma Encoding in Space Name Bug

I found (what appears to be) a bug where if you have a space name with a comma in it, the comma is incorrectly encoded in the filename. It should be %2C, but it appears to create files that have the percent sign encoded twice.

To repro this:

- Create a page with a comma in the title

- Export the html

- Click the main navigation link auto generated to the page

- Link is broken.

The bug still exists in 2024. It was closed by atlassian without resolving it. Alot of links to github don't work because of it. Should reopen this ticket

I have also encountered this issue. It's a pretty common use case. I have pages titled "Lastname, Firstname" and exporting this as html results in this problem described above.
