How to set external links to open in new tabs?

[TheodoreChu]

Is there a way to make external links (links to other web pages) open in new tabs?

• The links generated by marp-cli open on the same page.
• I tried to set linkify: true in the Markdown-It options for Marp Core, but it doesn't help.

I saw that the web app at web.marp.app does it like this, but it seems a bit complicated. Is there an easier way?

For user

Just use <a href="https://example.com/" target="_blank"></a> with enabling HTML in your Marp tool.

For developer

In fact, Marp Web takes the simplest way which is introduced in markdown-it documentation: https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it/blob/master/docs/architecture.md#renderer

Try to use markdown-it-link-attributes markdown-it plugin if you want more easy way. (NOTE: I did not yet verified compatibility with Marp)
