Open links in new tab?

[tenpast]

Hi, I'm trying to open some links from homepage.yml in a new tab. Example

In homepage.yml section:
content : " Some content [link](https://example.com] more content"

In partial.html:
{{ .content | markdownify }}

I have tried the .../layouts/_default/_markup/render-link.html workaround for Goldmark, but it does not work when passing the content through the short code as done in vex-hugo theme.

Thanks for your help!

Hello @tenpast

Try <a href="https://examplesite.com" target="_blank">link</a> this

Hi @somratpro

Thank you for your response.

How do I escape the quotation marks (")? Otherwise when the .yml file is parsed by Hugo it will interpret the quotation mark as part of the yaml structure and mess up the file:

content : " Some content <a href="https://examplesite.com" target="_blank">link</a> more content"

[somratpro]

you can use single 'quote'

Yes, that worked, I used a single quote for the yaml content delimiter.

Thank you :)

I'm adding this as a follow-up in case this question ever comes up again. Escaping single quotes has the disadvantage that any use of single quotes then becomes a problem (example, apostrophes). The way to make the above work with double quotes is to escape the double quotes with a back-slash (like so: \"). Then the content section looks something like this:

content : " Some content <a href=\"https://examplesite.com\" target=\"_blank\">link</a> more content"
