There is a bug in the software that occurs if the page name contains
a space.

I have relaxed the restrictions on the use of http:// on the Axiom
Wiki. Now it is allowed following "...": (the way links are done
in Structured Text) and up to 5 bare occurrences of http://. So it
should now be possible to use http:// (almost) normally again.

I am not sure about the rendering of $hp$$pt:$. I think it is a
LaTeX artifact. But this sort of hack shouldn't be necessary any
more.

These problem were all probably caused by the page name that
contained a space. I have removed the space and it seems ok now.

As I said above, I have relaxed the restriction on the use of http://

Again the difference was caused just by the blank in the page name.
I will correct this bug in the near future.
