The plugin output and comments are saved in a Nagios-compatible format (semi-colon-separated). Therefore, it is necessary to escape semi-colons to %3B when writing out history.

In the GUI, where plugin output or comments from the monitoring history are displayed, we can translate %3B back to a semi-colon using a simple replace.
