Issue Summary

• Confluence pages with links containing characters such as "[]", "{}" will turn into "#" after being published
• "{", "}", "|", "\", "^", "~", "[", "]", and "`" , en-dash are considered "unsafe" characters] and appear to cause problems when used in Confluence Cloud URLs.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use Cmd + K and paste [https://gitlab.dgtalpartners.com/bloom/processing/tokenizer-rpc//merge_requests?label_name[]=v2.0|https://gitlab.dgtalpartners.com/bloom/processing/tokenizer-rpc//merge_requests?label_name[]=v2.0] into the URL field.
2. Publish

Expected Results

• View the link href, it'll point to `[https://gitlab.dgtalpartners.com/bloom/processing/tokenizer-rpc//merge_requests?label_name[]=v2.0|https://gitlab.dgtalpartners.com/bloom/processing/tokenizer-rpc//merge_requests?label_name[]=v2.0]`

Actual Results

• View the link href, it'll point to `#`
• Edit page
  *. Link is now `#` but text remains as original URL

Workaround

The current workaround is to update the URL to use raw ASCII for the square brackets. You can use the below ASCII

[ = %5b
] = %5d
{ = %5B
} = %5D

Basically replace the [] or {} characters with the above ASCII.
