Enable target=_blank to Open External Links in a New Tab

I'd like to be able to link people externally without directing them off my blog, ie open external links in a new tab.

It seems not an option.

I tried using the Markdown convention: [Example](https://example.com/){:target="_blank"}

I also tried via html: <a href="https://example.com/" target="_blank">Example</a>

Please could you implement this?

Hi @salemandreus!

Thanks for reporting this! I have just made a change to faciliate this: https://github.com/mataroa-blog/mataroa/commit/9bf9b047c5c537f5e000aaa2db25a1a7865d1469

The following should now work:

<a href="https://example.com/" target="_blank">Example</a>

Let me know if that works for you as well!
