Ok thanks. But I'm also trying to understand when I would ever see a '#' or an '&' character in a slide uri? I'd like to avoid using them if I have the choice to do so. Can I avoid the whole problem entirely just by making sure I don't name any of my files or collections with these chars in them? Or is there another circumstance that I can't control where the '#' or '&' char will be passed to slide in a uri whether I like it or not?
