blog: about links given external link icons

[aronatkins]

Bug description

External link icons are given to navigation links within an about page template.

Steps to reproduce

quarto create project blog --no-open about-icon
cd about-icon
echo "    link-external-icon: true" >> _quarto.yml
echo "    link-external-newwindow: true" >> _quarto.yml
quarto render

Expected behavior

The "about" page does not contain icons for external links, as they are provided as navigation for that page.

Actual behavior

The "about" page contains icons for external links.

Additionally, the generated markup includes the about links outside the <main>..</main> but before the "main" closing comment. Not sure if this positioning is related.

<!-- main -->
<div class="quarto-about-jolla content">
  <img src="profile.jpg" class="about-image
  round " style="height: 15em; width: 15em;">
 <header id="title-block-header" class="quarto-title-block default">
<div class="quarto-title">
<h1 class="title">About</h1>
</div>
<div class="quarto-title-meta">
  </div>
</header><main class="content" id="quarto-document-content">
<p>About this blog</p>


</main>
  <hr class="about-sep">
   <div class="about-links">
  <a href="https://twitter.com" class="about-link" rel="" target="">
    <i class="bi bi-twitter"></i>
     <span class="about-link-text">Twitter</span>
  </a>
  <a href="https://linkedin.com" class="about-link" rel="" target="">
    <i class="bi bi-linkedin"></i>
     <span class="about-link-text">LinkedIn</span>
  </a>
  <a href="https://github.com" class="about-link" rel="" target="">
    <i class="bi bi-github"></i>
     <span class="about-link-text">Github</span>
  </a>
</div>
</div>
 <!-- /main -->

Workaround: Add the following to the about.qmd YAML block, suppressing links on this page (leaving it elsewhere). Not appropriate if there is lots of supporting text and outbound links in the body text.

format:
  html:
    link-external-icon: false
    link-external-newwindow: false
