I have a link shortcode that has an additional target attribute.
\{{ .Get “text” }}
When i use this in a md content file, if text is a url it gets expanded to an autolink, this generating two nested links. I have and need unsafe = true .
How can i disable this.

Assuming you are using Goldmark — if you don’t understand what I am writing, then YES, you are using Goldmark 😉 — you can set a value in your config.toml:
> **[Configure Markup](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration-markup/)**
>
> How to handle Markdown and other markup related configuration.
```auto
[markup]
[markup.goldmark]
[markup.goldmark.extensions]
linkify = true
```
Read that page linked above. There is a lot that you can configure based on the markdown parser used.

Re-reading your issue I think the config variable might not be what you are looking for. Did you try something like {{ .Get “text” | safeHTML }}?

That worked thanks. I had tried that, but i had the config format wrong.
Many thanks
