  • Problems with links to sources on Google Books
Just a pretty minor issue. Sometimes when I'm trying to provide a link to a source from Google Books, part of the url appears in the text of the article, e.g "whose+mother+was+Sukayna+bint+al-Husayn+ibn+Ali" This only seems to happen when the source in question is available in "snippet view" on Google. Any thoughts on how I can avoid this? Thank you.

It's the quote marks (") in the url.
with the quote marks:
[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=u2EkAQAAIAAJ&dq=men+of+medina&focus=searchwithinvolume&q="whose+mother+was+Sukayna+bint+al-Husayn+ibn+Ali"]"whose+mother+was+Sukayna+bint+al-Husayn+ibn+Ali"
without the quote marks:
[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=u2EkAQAAIAAJ&dq=men+of+medina&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=whose+mother+was+Sukayna+bint+al-Husayn+ibn+Ali][1]
with the quote marks percent encoded:
[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=u2EkAQAAIAAJ&dq=men+of+medina&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=%22whose+mother+was+Sukayna+bint+al-Husayn+ibn+Ali%22][2]

@Trappist the monk: I'm not very familiar with percent encoding. Would typing "%22" in place of quotation marks work in all scenarios? That's the impression I'm getting from the article page but I just wanted to be certain.

In urls with quote marks that haven't worked right for me, replacing them with %22 has worked for me. Re: your: in all scenarios? That's a lot of scenarios so I cannot say for sure that this will always work.

That's probably the best response I can expect from a non-omniscient being, so I'll take what I can get. Thank you!
