Un-escape the URI escape sequences -- Select this option to convert URI escaped sequences into normal text. For example, to convert the text "Fr%C3%A8res%20de%20la%20c%C3%B4te" into "Frères de la côte".

Escape content to URI escape sequences -- Select this option to convert normal text into a text where characters are escaped into URI escape sequences. Which characters get escaped is specified by the list below.

List of the characters to escape -- Check each character you want to be escaped. Note that the character '%' is always escaped. Characters to escape are converted to UTF-8 (regardless of the encoding for the output file), and then each byte of the UTF-8 sequence is converted into the notation %HH where HH is the uppercase hexadecimal value of the byte.

Escape all extended characters -- Check this option to convert all non-ASCII characters to a URI escape sequence.

All But URI-Marks -- Click this button to reset the list of the characters to escape to all, except the characters specified as "marks" in RFC 2396 (which are: '-', '_', '.', '!', '~', '*',''', '(', and ')').

All But Marks And Reserved -- Click this button to reset the list of the characters to escape to all, except the characters specified as "marks" in RFC 2396 (which are: '-', '_', '.', '!', '~', '*',''', '(', and ')'.), as well as the ones specified as "reserved" (which are: ';', '/', '?', ':', '@', '&', '=', '+', '$', ',').
