      Issue

      Space HTML exports from Confluence are used by some of our customers to be viewed offline by compiling them into .CHM files, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Compiled_HTML_Help

      Space HTML exports prior to Confluence 4.0 used to name pages with special characters as their pageIDs, and does not convert the special characters into UTF-8 representation.

      Prior 4.0:

      Page title in Confluence: test_ä_test
      Page title after export: 32788.html

      4.0:

      Page title in Confluence: test_ä_test
      Page title after export: test_%C3%A4_test.html

      HTMLHelp seems to break with the % characters.
