Hi,
in Blogdown, there are three type of files .Rmd, .Rmarkdown, and .md. See this chapter in blogdown book Those files are not rendered with the same engine. Especially,
A plain Markdown post is rendered to HTML through Blackfriday (a package written in the Go language and adopted by Hugo).
So, [link](URL){target="_blank"}
which I guess is a Pandoc related syntex won't work in md file. If you want target="_blank"
links you should have a look into blackfriday configuration.
Some related resources on Hugo
However, you can indeed use Rmd. I modified /content/authors/admin/_index.md
to /content/authors/admin/_index.Rmd
and added
See [Google](http://google.fr){target="_blank"}
when testing with blogdown::serve_site()
I correcly got the correct html
<a href="http://google.fr" target="_blank">Google</a>
So it seems to work.
In summary, .md
files are not rendered by pandoc so there is no enableing link_attributes to do here. To keep .md
look into hugo / blackfriday configuration or use html directly. Otherwise Rmd should work.
Hope it helps.
Thank you very much for your instrumental and resourceful comments, @cderv!
Yes, I get the picture now.
And, I finally got the _index.Rmd
to work as you described, probably there was an issue with my local machine (cache, etc.).
I am closing this issue to not bug anyone else.
Appreciatively,
I understand that we can easily make links open in new browser tabs using
[link](URL){target="_blank"}
syntax as described on Yihui's blog post.However, the link_attributes extension is only enabled for
.Rmd
files; we can't employ this method against.md
files unless we enable the extension in the call to pandoc with+link_attributes
.I was wondering if we could enable this link_attributes extension globally for both
.Rmd
and.md
files withinblogdown
package.I am requesting this because there are some required
.md
files shipped with hugo themes, which are not working when replaced with.Rmd
files.For example, gcushen/hugo-academic has its own skeleton
.md
file for users to create their admin profiles including their bios:Since my bio included some links that I wanted to open in new tabs, I appended
{target="_blank"}
to each of the link elements.I found, however, that
blogdown::build_site()
did not work when I converted the_index.md
file into a.Rmd
format, which means I failed to secure a way to employ thelink_attributes
extension.Please kindly consider this request.
