Are external URLS allowed in wiki style articles?

[amtvd27]

When I created an external url using these methods, none of the links open properly.

The issue is when a KB Article type is set to Wiki, the external URL is opening in a new tab. I think this is because the the links rendered in the article are stripped of their attributes. This part, I don’t know why. But I think this is the root cause. I checked the source code of the wiki article to verify. This is the link that I made in the editor.

And this is the link that is rendered after the DOM loads. Notice how the target is missing and the rel attributes I assigned are gone. I’ve told it to open in a new blank tab with the required rel attributes. But somewhere service now removes them. I'm on the xanadu-platform if this is important to know.

Thanks is advance for the help. I promise this isn't spam!

Hi @amtvd27,

when you are setting a link in the editor, you can select if it is opened in the same window, in a new tab, ...

My PDI is under maintenance so I cannot show you a screenshot at this moment, but give it a try.
