    Hello

    I'm trying to add links in my document that opens other files, like this:

    $docx->embedHTML('<a href="'.$filename.'" target="_blank">'.$val.'</a>', array('baseURL'=>"./annex/"));

    It works fine in a DOCX, but when I transform the document into a PDF the link becomes url encoded (like this: "%2Fannex%2F") and doesn't open.

    I also noticed that it doesn't happen when the path contains an accent. For example: 

    $docx->embedHTML('<a href="'.$filename.'" target="_blank">'.$val.'</a>', array('baseURL'=>"./annèx/"));
//or
$docx->embedHTML('<a href="é'.$filename.'" target="_blank">'.$val.'</a>', array('baseURL'=>"./annex/"));

    edit: the accent are misinterpreted in the code snippet

    I don't understand what is happening.

    I'm using phpdocx 7.5.

    Can you help me ?

    Thanks.
