Topic: How to make auto hyperlinks in posts to open in new window?

Sounds simple enough, and Im sure its been covered sometime in the past, but I cant seem to find it anywhere...

Is there any way to make sure all hyperlinks created in a post will open in a new window??? Thanks.

Re: How to make auto hyperlinks in posts to open in new window?

You just need to define the 'target' attribute in all the links you want to open in a new page. e.g. 

<a href="http://mypage.com target="_blank">My Page</a>

Yet...
PunBB uses XHTML 1.0 strict validation which doesn't allow target in <a> tags. If you can care less of XHTML validation that's the solution, otherwise I'm afraid there's no way to accomplish that.
