Background
Links to documentation are great. It's always great if you can link and have the navigation open since a ton of sections are just kind of introductions to other sections, which are tough to find without the navigation side bar.
I can get a link to do this, i.e.
http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/index_Left.htm#CSHID=apex_data_intro.htm|StartTopic=Content%2Fapex_data_intro.htm|SkinName=webhelp
However, when I put a link in an article it escapes the pipes and I end up with this
http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/index_Left.htm#CSHID=apex_data_intro.htm%7CStartTopic=Content/apex_data_intro.htm%7CSkinName=webhelp
Which unfortunately doesn't work.
The Pipes
How can I prevent StackExchange from escaping pipes in my links so that I can link directly into the API docs with the navigation open?
