There is no such feature in markdown, however you can always use HTML inside markdown:

    &lt;a href=&quot;http://example.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;example&lt;/a&gt;

As suggested by [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4425198/markdown-target-blank#answer-4705645):

    [link](url){:target=&quot;_blank&quot;}

Works for jekyll or more specifically [kramdown](https://kramdown.gettalong.org/), which is a superset of markdown, [as part of Jekyll&#39;s (default) configuration](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/#default-configuration). But not for plain markdown. ^_^

# Using `sed`
If one would like to **do this systematically for all external links,** [CSS is no option](https://stackoverflow.com/a/17281527/2192488). However, one could run the following [`sed`](http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html) command once the (X)HTML has been created from Markdown:

    sed -i &#39;s|href=&quot;http|target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http|g&#39; index.html

This can be further automated in a single workflow when a `Makefile` with build instructions is employed.

**PS:** This answer was written at a time when [extension `link_attributes`](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-link_attributes) was not yet available in Pandoc.

It is very dependent of the engine that you use for generating html files.
If you are using Hugo for generating htmls you have to write down like this:

```
&lt;a href=&quot;https://example.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Example Text&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;.
```


You can edit the generated markup and add 
```
target = &quot;_blank&quot;
```

Using jQuery, I would like to disable scrolling of the body:

My idea is to:

1. Set `body{ overflow: hidden;}`  
2. Capture the current `scrollTop();/scrollLeft()`  
3. Bind to the body scroll event, set scrollTop/scrollLeft to the captured value.

Is there a better way?

Update:

Please see my example, and a reason why, at http://jsbin.com/ikuma4/2/edit

I am aware someone will be thinking &quot;why does he not just use `position: fixed` on the panel?&quot;.

Please do not suggest this as I have other reasons.

The requirement is that I need to paste a long document in markdown format to a mediawiki site, which has no markdown extension installed.
All I can find about markdown, tools or modules/libraries, are in charge of converting markdown to HTML.
My question is: is there a convenient way to do the work from markdown to MediaWiki wikitext?


Are there any tools to convert markdown to Wiki text in other formats

I would like to use a lightweight markup language to take notes in my college classes. 

My editor of choice is gedit, and I found [reStructuredText Tools for Gedit](https://github.com/bittner/gedit-reST-plugin), which will run the reStructuredText processor and render the HTML in a pane in gedit. This is great, and 80% of the way there.

But for many of my classes I need to include math equations or greek characters in my notes. Although I&#39;m not very familiar with LaTeX, my understanding is that it has these capabilities. 

How can I use LaTeX in a reST document? Would the reST document need to be processed into LaTeX, then that rendered into HTML, or is there a better way? Would markdown make this easier? I can modify the gedit plugin if necessary.

Lastly, does anyone do this? Any other suggestions for taking class notes in a plain text editor?

Thanks!

I want to end up with:

    Hello there!

          &lt;image&gt;
          This is an image

    Hi!

Where the image and the text `This is an image` are centered on the page. How do I accomplish this with Markdown?

Edit: Note that I&#39;m looking to horizontally center the image and text on the page.

Is there a way to create a link in Markdown that opens in a new window? If not, what syntax do you recommend to do this? I&#39;ll add it to the markdown compiler I use. I think it should be an option.
