how do we create hyperlinks that open in a new or blank page

timpacker · 2012-10-19 22:56:11

I have a number of hyperlinks that I want to go to urls that are outside of my website. But I do not want to take people out of my site. I want the hyperlink to to open in its own new or blank page.

So far I have been unable to figure this out.

there does not seem to be any way to specify this in the Markdown Syntax Documentation ... and I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out where and how to insert the

target="_blank"

code.

So far the "target="_blank"" just keeps showing up in the body of my text when viewed in the browser.

You can't do it using Markdown syntax, but Markdown also allows you to write regular HTML, so do that for the links.

I've tried that a few times but I just keep getting the code showing up in the body of my text.

Here is what I want it to look like:

Gallery on the Lake
31 Gallery on the Lake Road
P.O. Box 130
Buckhorn, Ontario, Canada, K0L 1J0
www.galleryonthelake.com
e-mail: info@galleryonthelake.com
Tel: 1- 888 - 242 - 7475

with "www.galleryonthelake.com"

as the link to a new page

I have tried many variations of trying to insert the code to no avail

here is what my markdown/code looks like:

##Gallery on the Lake
31 Gallery on the Lake Road
P.O. Box 130
Buckhorn, Ontario, Canada, K0L 1J0
` <p ><a href="http://www.galleryonthelake.com/" target="_blank">www.galleryonthelake.com</a><br />`
e-mail: info@galleryonthelake.com
Tel: 1- 888 - 242 - 7475

Can you show me specifically what it should like?

that's all Matt. I just poke my nose in here as a procrastination strategy to keep me from working on what I really should be doing....
