README

A Flarum extension.

Opens all external links in a new tab:

• Links inside posts are handled on the backend (target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" is added when posts are rendered).
• Other external links on the forum frontend (menus, navigation bar, etc.) are opened in a new tab on click event.
• When Flarum is installed in a subfolder (example.tld/flarum), links to other paths (example.tld/blog) are considered external.
