Link to new window in user macro

[Виталий]

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

<a href="$!paramURL" target="_blank">$!paramCaption</a>

Pretty simple and it works fine, except one detail - it ignores the "target" attribute!

On the rendered page code looks like:

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.

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 ($linkHtml = '<a href="'+$paramLink+'" target="'+$target+'">'+$paramCaption+'</a>')

<ac:structured-macro ac:name = "html">
<ac:plain-text-body>

<![CDATA[ $!linkHtml ]]>

</ac:plain-text-body>
</ac:structured-macro>

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