Define path on own domain as external links about jekyll-target-blank HOT 3 OPEN

Hi, thank you for your feedback.

I understand what you need but no, this cannot be added without losing the main purpose of the plugin.

You can choose whether to add a CSS class to these links or code them manually.

Am I missing something? How can any program tell your tracking links from your internal links? Is there anything that distinguishes them?

from jekyll-target-blank.

It should be easy to distinguish them as all the external links start with /go (or whatever path a particular site uses, I think both /go and /out are quite common)

• yourdomain.com/go/something --> external
• yourdomain.com/something --> internal

So in the plugin you'd just need the ability to set a path that is used for external redirects.

Do you understand what I mean?

I understand. Thank you for clarifying.

This feature can be made possible with using a regexp in Jekyll's config.

I'm sorry that I don't have time to implement this at the moment. However, if you give it a go, I'll review your PR asap.

You can look at my code, the parts that change behaviour depending on CSS class names and work from there.

1. Describe the feature in the SPEC file.
2. Write code for the spec to pass.
3. Nudge the minor version number forward.
4. Submit PR
5. Fix and build issues.
6. I'll approve or comment on the PR.
7. I'll upload the Gem to RubyGems (asap).

Thank you once again.

PS: this was my first ever ruby code so I'm sure you can also do it 😉
