[textile] rel="external"

Hi

I would like to make external links in my text/article using Textile.
Is this possible in Textile?

If not, is there some plug-in I could use?
(I searched for it in the plug-in department, but did not find any?)

I just want to make nice valid url:s using the rel=”“ and some javascript to make links to other sites open up in a new window. I often have links to other sites in my article text, so i want them to be open exteranally, not to take the visitor away from the text flow…

Would apreciate some help on this!

Textile provides no means for attributing links. Would you consider zem_prblock? This could easily be modified to adorn links with “external” instead of “nofollow”.

Re: [textile] rel="external"

Yes, this looks like it could work…

But could you please give me a hint on how to edit it?

Do I just replace all “nofollow” with “external” in all places?
What about the javascript part?
(Sorry, I don’t do php… :-ı)

if ($linkdomain and @$url[‘scheme’] 'http' and $linkdomain != $mydomain) { if ($type ‘nofollow’) { $atts[‘rel’] = ‘nofollow’; } else { $atts[‘href’] = ‘javascript:;’; $atts[‘onClick’] = “window.location.href=’$link’; return false;”; }

===
I also found: <pnh_mf> – a plugin for Microformats
It seems to do kind of the same thing?
But i am not sure i could enclose a whole article with it, like <zem_prblock> ?

I think that’s about all. The javascript part is an alternative for those who do not want to use rel.

Re: [textile] rel="external"

Hey – is this still the case – no support for rel=”“ in textile?

If you read Native textile code for manage link “rel” attributes there was a proposed standard using curly brackets {} but it seems to have never been fully implemented.

Re: [textile] rel="external"

Thanks Michael – yeah I did read those articles before I posted… sometimes with all this techy coding talk I can never work out if it is included or not… I guess not though :(

Wonder why I didn’t get a notification of your reply – thought I would be automatically subscribed by being part of the thread?

Re: [textile] rel="external"

To complete, there is a txp solution: create your external links under “Links” tab, and output them like this:

blah <txp:linklist id="5"><txp:link rel="external" /></txp:linklist> blah

or create an “external” link form with just <txp:link rel="external" /> inside and call <txp:linklist id="5" form="external" />.

Another (inline) possibility is etc_query: create a Miscellaneous type form “external”:

<txp:etc_query data='<txp:yield />' replace="a@@rel=external" />

and output the external links like this (mind spaces):

<txp:output_form form="external"> "question":http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=21828 </txp:output_form>

Not extra handy, but you can alter any attribute this way.

Edit: or let etc_query do it automatically, replacing <txp:body /> in the article form with

<txp:etc_query data='<txp:body />'
	replace='//a[starts-with(@href, "http") and not(starts-with(@href, "<txp:site_url />"))]@@rel=external@target=_blank' />
