auto_link removes options from existing a tags

[swrobel]

auto_link seems to remove html options from existing <a> tags in my code. For example:

auto_link('<a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">Here</a>')

returns

<a href="http://google.com">Here</a>

This definitely doesn't seem like expected behavior...

gem version? it was fixed

[swrobel]

1.0.9

[kentor]

it's not fixed. using 1.0.9

[tmlee]

the auto_link method by default sanitizes everything coming its way.
perhaps add a :sanitize => false?

auto_link('<a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">Here</a>', :sanitize => false)

or handle the case where target is inserted into the attribute?

Still in 1.1.0

Oops, :sanitize => false works, thank you.

@tmlee Thanks for the fix! Works well
