Neither was satisfactory. Macro spaces give Opera a headache. I may be very
wrong, but the command file://%%d%%f is exectued in a shell. %%d becomes
/mnt/verbatim/regular expressions/ and %%f becomes wikka.htm. Why shouldn't
the spaces contained in the macros names be replaced by '\ ' (note the
trailing space) during the conversion? And at that moment I do not think
problems would appear. I still want to try to make an alias: ' '='\ '. And
see what it gives.
