A markdown text value such as

[link](https://example.org/item%20title)

gets converted to

<a href="https://example.org/item%2520title">link</a>

Thus, the percent sign is double-encoded.

This is a Discount bug that may or may not be addressed soon, so a workaround (post-processing) may be needed.
