Name of linked file containing semicolon

[leastcommonancestor]

If the name of a linked file contains a semicolon, ebook-convert will not add the target file. Example:

<p><a href="test0;.html">foobar</a></p>

However, the result of ebook-convert will have the filename in toc.ncx (as <content src="test0%3b.html"/>) and content.opf will have an erroneous entry with unknown id.
This is shown after opening the result with ebook-edit and checking.

"Try to correct automatically all fixable errors" then raises the following exception:
