Link open in another tab

complete

Jérôme Minardi

When I create a link in a page, I would like to have an option to open it in the current tab or in another tab for not loosing the context.

I have enabled "Open all external links in a new tab" (under Rendering > HTML > Core). But its not adding {target=_blank} in the API response of page content and its not working in new tab. When I checked the code by inspecting source in wiki.js, I can see {target=_blank} in <a> tag. But why its not there in the page source?

Since update 2.2, it's possible to open all external links in a new tab (under Rendering > HTML > Core) or on a link by link basis by adding

{target=_blank}

at the end of a link.

Nicolas Giard: Thanks for the feature. Should also the "navigation links" to external sites open in a new tab?

I would by default open external links in new tab and wiki link in same tab

When adding a navigation button, the page will open in the same tab. There is no option to open the page in a new tab/window.

This is honestly like a bare minimum requirement. I kind of surprised that Wiki.js doesn't already have this feature considering all the other stuff it has.

+1 also for 'Open Links In New Tab By Default'
either as a global wiki option, a user-level option, or as some extension/modification of the Markdown parser, something like:
A Normal Link
Opens In A New Tab^
