Removed url encoding of the article link
This is a bug fix.
Summary
Linkedin social share button does not seem to be working correctly when an article's URL is encoded (as in
/replaced with%2Fetc). I encountered this bug while trying to share my own article hosted on Github Pages. It does not seem to be the case with common websites, for examplehttps://google.com/seems to work both raw and encoded.Context
I didn't find any issue mentioning that bug - but the fix is quick and simple enough to go with the PR right away.
