By default, clicking a link on our site opens the linked website in the same tab. Once in a while, however, we have a topic where we’d like links to open a new tab.

For example, here we have a topic that includes a list of things for users to do. It would make sense that any time they click on a link, they would open a new tab instead of navigating away from the list.

Yes, use html:

```plaintext
<a href="http://example.com/" target="_blank">Hello, world!</a>

```

[Hello, world!](http://example.com/)
