Markdown: Link does not open in new tab

11

@pmoreno Note the syntax of query strings:

  1. There can only be one ? in the url. It separates the path from the query string.
  2. Separate the second, third, and any subsequent parameters with &

Not working due to incorrect querystring:

Markdown : [My link](/path/to/page?param1=value1?target=_blank)
Generates: <a href="/path/to/page?param1=value1%3Ftarget%3D_blank">My link</a>

Working:

Markdown : [My link](/path/to/page?param1=value1&target=_blank)
Generates: <a href="/path/to/page?param1=value1" target="_blank">My link</a>

Kind request to edit and improve your question for clarity:

  • The question would be more clear if you explicitly showed the context of the urls shown: Show the entire markdown, or <a> you used.
  • And while you’re at it, a better title could be “Markdown link not showing in new tab”
