I'm a bit unsure of how to create links in roadkill wiki. Most documentation uses Creole markup and when i try it in markdown it doesn't work. For instance, i might have a page called "Something ABC" and if i create a link like [link to something abc](Something ABC), it's not formatted as a link at all. Any variations i've tried just link to create a new page...

The only thing i can get to work is to link with a full http url, which makes it look like an external link, which it is not... Any ideas?

I think i got it working after some more playing around. I tried linking it like [link to something abc](something-abc), where i used the last url-segment to the page as the link-key. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to work.

Markdown links can't have spaces in them, you will need to replace the spaces with a dash (-)

I noticed that 1.7 included support for links opening in new tabs. However, I have not been successful using target="_blank" or target="new". What is the correct markdown or HTML syntax to trigger the new tab?

Current link:
<a href="https://todoist.com/app?andParamStuff" target="_blank">Todoist Website</a>

Thanks!

In version 2 it's a plugin called "External links in new window", which you can enable in the plugin settings. For internal links they are always in the same window however, but it's be really easy to extend the external links plugin slightly to do all links:

I don't think this is working in v2.0.275 (via NuGet).

The .js file is being included, but the rendered links don't have the class 'external-link' set, so don't get the target attribute applied to them.

I've noticed that v2.0.275 is actually 2 years old.

I just tried getting the source for v2.0.400 from GitHub, and external links work ok in this. Do you have any plans to update NuGet with this version?
