I have some links that open in a new window. I select “Open in a new window” and the rel=“external” attribute is populated automatically.
This is an text stack internal link and should not have rel=“external” attribute: <a href="page2/" rel="external" title="Page 2" target="_blank">Page 2</a>
When I remove the rel=“external” attribute, I lose the target="_blank" attribute and the link opens in the same window: <a href="page2/" rel="external" title="Page 2" target="_blank">Page 2</a>
This is an text stack external link and should have rel=“external” attribute: <a href="https://google.com" rel="external" title="Google website" target="_blank">Google</a>
When I add “nofollow” to an external link, I lose the target="_blank" attribute again: <a href="https://google.com" rel="external nofollow" title="Google website">Google</a>
This is with a Button Plus Stack. It’s almost there but the target attribute is incomplete: <a role="button" href="https://google.com" class=" button b-p hov-target right custom not-vault round custom-shape" target="" rel="external me nofollow"><span class="bp-text">More Info...</span></a>
Does anyone else have this issue, and can the folks at Realmac take a look?
The link tool in RW adds this attribute when you want to open a link in a new tab. This is because the link will be opened external to the current window. What is your concern with having this?
Not sure yet, it may only be part of the v8 release (as we’re 100% focused on shipping that asap). However, we may back-port it in the future. In the meantime you can use the workaround, or simple write out the HTML.
