      Issue Summary

      Links containing right/left brackets <> don't save correctly and revert to #.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Go to a page.
      2. Use the %K shortcut to insert a link or type some text and click the Link icon in the toolbar.
      3. For the URL, enter a standard URL and include a query with <>
      4. Save the page.

      For example

      https://www.google.com/search?q=what+are+the+<>+values
      Commonly used for creating work items in Jira
      https://TEST-STIE.atlassian.net/secure/CreatsetupDetails!init.jspa?pid=123456&issuetype=12345&summary=ABC%20-%20<Title> 

      Expected Results

      The link should stay intact and be functional after publishing the page.

      Actual Results

      The link reverts to #, losing the full URL.

      Workaround

      Remove <> before adding the link.
      Alternatively, encode brackets in the URL before pasting:

      • %3C for <
      • %3E for >
