openLinksInNewWindow should not apply to internal anchor links (e.g. TOC links)

[KirkMunro]

Right now if you use openLinksInNewWindow, all links get updated to open in a new window, including internal anchor links. This is not desirable. Please consider changing the default behavior such that internal anchor links are ignored/skipped by the openLinksInNewWindow setting. Thanks!

Although there isn't a perfect solution for this issue (since that would require showdown to be aware of URL context), showdown can disable target="__blank" for relative urls that start with a #.

That's what I was looking for. I think that would be a nice improvement for openLinksInNewWindow.

Should be fixed now (version 1.8.2)

As you know, ShowdownJS is a free library and it will remain free forever. However, maintaining and improving the library costs time and money. Currently, we're looking to improve showdown with automated tests in all browsers and a proper domain and webpage. 500$ should be enough to to keep showdown testing framework running for a year or two.

If you like our work and find our library useful, please donate through Pledgie or directly through paypal!! Your contribution will be greatly appreciated.

This does not seem to apply to ghMentionsLink as at version 1.9.1
