Specifying target=_blank on an anchor in a markdown document

Just a quick note so I don’t lose this:

In Jekyll’s default markdown processor, kramdown, you can specify an attribute on a spanning or block element inside braces (“squirly brackets”) like so:

{% raw %}{:attr="value"}{% endraw %}

Thus, to get a link to open in a new tab:

{% raw %}[link text](linkpath){:target="_blank" rel="noopenner noreferrer"}{% endraw %}

Should generate:

<a href="linkpath" target="_blank">link text</a>

Let’s just see what happens:

This link{:target=”_blank” rel=”noopenner noreferrer”} should open in a new page.
