Link to new window in user macro

Question

Hi! As there is not way to add link to new (blank) page in Confluence i've desided to make my own macro for this purpose. So my macro is: ## @Param URL:title=URL|type=string|required=true|desc=Target URL ## @Param Caption:title=Caption|type=string|required=true|desc=URL Caption $!paramCaption Pretty simple and it works fine, except one detail - it ignores the "target" attribute! On the rendered page code looks like:

I'll try it, thanks! For now i've done this macro and it worked: ## @Param Caption:title=Caption|type=string|required=true|desc=URL Caption ## @Param Link:title=Link|type=string|required=true|desc=Full URL Link ## @Param OpenType:title=OpenType|type=enum|required=false|enumValues=New window,Current window|default=New window|desc=Where to open link #if ($paramOpenType == "New window") #set ( $target = "_blank") #elseif ($paramOpenType == "Current window") #set ( $target = "_self") #end #set ($linkHtml = ''+$paramCaption+'')

This is html macro wrapped in user macro, actually ^_^

Take a look at this article https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-do-i-make-my-attachments-open-in-a-new-window-or-tab-313459830.html

Looks like the target needs an _ in front of it.  You can try it and see if that works.
