mk, forwardslash - new markup hates plus signs. Sees them as formatting characters no matter what you do.

You should be able to escape formatting symbols like + with a backslash (i.e. \+). It does look like there is a bug when editing, though, at it doesn't show the backslash you use to escape.

So +'s should be fine now by themselves in urls, such as this one. Anything outside of that and you'll have to use \'s to escape them.

While they're at it, it hates ~ 's as well, if they're used to indicate approximation. When split across ~2 lines. Edit: Ok, escaping with backslash works, but the backslash disappears when subsequently edited as forwardslash noted.
