How to target="_blank" in .md?

support

In case someone is interested to add target='_blank' to external links only.

You can enable blackfriday.hrefTargetBlank=true.

[blackfriday]
  plainIDAnchors = true
  hrefTargetBlank = true

Sadly, shortcode ref/relref link can no longer be used as the link will be generated with target='_blank' as well.

You can use markdown reference link.
