Problem

• Insert link tool in BBCode editor strips ' characters from URLs.

Steps to reproduce

1. Copy a URL containing a ' character to the clipboard e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy's_law.
2. Select the Insert Link icon (or press Ctrl+K) in the WYSYWIG BB code editor.
3. Paste the URL, add some text for the link and press Insert.
4. Select the Toggle BB code icon.

Desired behavior

• Illegal ' should be encoded as %27 so the link becomes some text.
