Hello XWiki community,
The current syntax 2.1 allows me to use
[[ link-label >>
http://example.com || target="targ"]]
so as to write a link that goes to a named target targ (which could also be
"_blank").
However, both XWiki Syntax 2.1 documentation for links:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax#HXWikiSyntax2.1Li…
and the WYSIWYG editor employ the rel attribute instead to denote that a link should be
opened in a new window.
I am surprised such a choice is made since:
- the rel attribute is deemed to be only useful for robots (see, e.g.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#adef-rel,
http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/a.html#a.attrs.rel,http://reference.sitepoin…
or
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/values.html#linktypes)
- the target attribute which was deprecated in html4 has been resurrected by hmtl5 and is
indeed output by:
[[ link-label >>
http://example.com || rel="__blank"]]
I would suggest:
- to modify the syntax documentation to speak about the target attribute as well as the
rel attribute (e.g. with the nofollow attribute)
- to let the wysiwyg editor output target="_blank" instead of including the rel
nae
Do you agree?
It appears that I need particular rights to edit the XWikiSyntax page. How do I get them?
thanks in advance.
Paul
