          Issue ID: 13080
           Summary: DDOC removes $x characters from $(LINK urls, text)
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD
          Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com
          Reporter: edwards.ac@gmail.com

A url containing the $ will not work after passing through DDoc $(LINK ) macro. For instance, the link http://forum.dlang.org/thread/lpghnr$2ej5$1@digitalmars.com will lose the four characters $2 and $1 after processing.
