Internal links in same tab, external links in new tab

My problem is that I want links to pages outside of my site to open in a new tab, but links to pages inside my site to open in the current tab.

Hmm, based on the hrefTargetBlank documentation, I assumed that it already did that (As I mentioned above, I leave that option at the default false as I anyways middle click on links to open them in separate tabs.) …

hrefTargetBlank
default: false
Blackfriday flag: HTML_HREF_TARGET_BLANK
Purpose: true opens external links in a new window or tab.

Does it not work that way?

If not, then maybe:

• Open an issue on Blackfriday repo

Looks like Blackfriday’s definition of “external link” is “not relative link”, which is bad IMO. At least in hugo docs, we should correctly document what hrefTargetBlank actually does… I’ll open an issue for that in hugoDocs. Done.

From Blackfriday repo:

• condition to check when to insert target="_blank"
• isRelativeLink code

---

Correct the documentation of hrefTargetBlank
