A MkDocs plugin that tries to obscure email-addresses from address-harvesting spam-bots.
Currently, it replaces everything (both in the contents and the template)
looking like an email-address with its unicode numeric character reference,
e.g. a@b -> a@b.
This should be invisible to normal users and not affect the usability;
but it will prevent some spam-bots from finding the addresses. But note
that this may also prevent legitimate address-crawlers and search engines
from finding these addresses.
Markdown already does something similar for <mail@example.com>, but not
for [mail@example.com](mailto:mail@example.com) or for non-linked
addresses, see:
