How can I exclude relative domain URLs from using the `rehype-external-links' plugin?

Hello.

I'm using Astro and I want to exclude the use of the `rehype-external-links' plugin for URLs relative to the site's domain. My current implementation of the plugin in the Astro configuration is as follows:

rehypePlugins: [
  [
    rehypeExternalLinks,
    {
      target: "_blank",
      rel: "noreferrer",
    },
  ],
],

The plugin does what you ask. Perhaps you can use more words to describe your question.

For example, I have my site henestrosaconh.com. How can I prevent the plugin from applying target: "_blank" and rel: "noreferrer" to the URLs of said domain?

The plugin applies to absolute URLs, so those with http:.... You can write relative URLs, so like say [text](/some/url/whatever)? Why are you writing absolute URLs?

If you‘re looking for more complex tests, perhaps use the test option, see the readme: https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype-external-links

You're right. Sorry for the confusion, I thought I was using relative URLs instead of absolute URLs. I've changed them to relative and now they work as expected. Thanks so much! :)

P.S. there’s a plugin that does that can do that automatically: https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype-minify/tree/main/packages/rehype-minify-url#unifieduserehypeminifyurl-options
