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.

How would that work with URLs? 'cuz the above initially had a "+" instead of "plus" and the Synology URL had a plus in it.

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.
