Question

Is there a way to open the below markdown link in new tab? I've got some result from markdown target=“_blank”, but in my case it's different have used <> symbol to projected the link.

Not used the usual format

(name)[linkname]

Used

<>

Answer 1

The kramdown syntax:

[link name](url_link){:target="_blank"}

can be parsed into HTML using the kramdown online editor: https://kramdown.herokuapp.com/ Then you can paste the HTML syntax into your markdown document.
I used it because I already had quite a few kramdown references, and wanted to avoid retyping them in HTML.
