I know this is probably going to be something very simple and it is like just a 'gotcha' that I have yet to get; however, I have been struggling with escaping the <code>@</code> symbol in the following URL. <pre class="prettyprint"><code><a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/@55.000000,-1.000000,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x487e736c74d13649:0xe560f3b38693aec3">View on Google Maps</a> </code></pre> I have already tried escaping it with a second <code>@</code> i.e. <pre class="prettyprint"><code><a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/@@55.000000,-1.000000,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x487e736c74d13649:0xe560f3b38693aec3">View on Google Maps</a> </code></pre> Yet that produces the following YSOD <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/nxzON.png" alt='Parser Error Message: "55.00000" is not valid at the start of a code block. Only identifiers, keywords, comments, "(" and "{" are valid.'> What am I missing?

Try use <code>&#64;</code> instead of an actual @ <pre class="prettyprint"><code><a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/&#64;55.000000,-1.000000,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x487e736c74d13649:0xe560f3b38693aec3">View on Google Maps</a> </code></pre>

I know this is probably going to be something very simple and it is like just a 'gotcha' that I have yet to get; however, I have been struggling with escaping the @ symbol in the following URL.

<a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/@55.000000,-1.000000,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x487e736c74d13649:0xe560f3b38693aec3">View on Google Maps</a>

I have already tried escaping it with a second @ i.e.

<a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/@@55.000000,-1.000000,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x487e736c74d13649:0xe560f3b38693aec3">View on Google Maps</a>

Yet that produces the following YSOD

Parser Error Message: "55.00000" is not valid at the start of a code block. Only identifiers, keywords, comments, "(" and "{" are valid. What am I missing?

Try use @ instead of an actual @

<a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/&#64;55.000000,-1.000000,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x487e736c74d13649:0xe560f3b38693aec3">View on Google Maps</a>
