Can I/Will I be able to create links with target=_blank ? #10

Closed y272nly closed 1 year ago

A really cool feature I would like to see is markdown honouring the "open in new tab/window" feature of a links.

Is it possible to convert this into MD in apex today?

<a href="http://example.com/" target="_blank">example</a>

If not, is it planned as a future offering?

Hi,

the current converter supports "special attributes" (see the docs) - unfortunately this does not work with links as described in the the underlying base-implementation PHP-Markdown extra.

The next plugin version will support it - I have plans to switch the converter because of some problems - your question/issue adds one more to the list.

I can't give you a future date - the winter is coming and with it more time for plugins... I will let this issue open until I start with the new version and the feature is available.

Until then you can always use the native HTML anchor syntax in Markdown - this is the proposed solution for all HTML elements without a Markdown syntax - sorry for that.

Best regards Ottmar

Closing this issue - there will be no future release. APEX has for some time now its own Markdown implementation.

Sorry and best regards Ottmar
