IF I understand you correctly you might be able to simply tackle the issue using the right CSS selector to apply styles for external links.

If links pointing inside the site use URLs not starting with "http" you might want to do something like the following to match external links:

a[href^="http://";] { color: red; }

hth,

Hi,

@Ioan: that was exactly what I was trying to avoid, it feels a bit
cumbersome to type the whole link instead something like
[text][1](.whatevercssclass) or similar

@Shane: yep, had checked also that link, unfortunately, "Special attribute
blocks can be used only with headers fenced code blocks." and I was looking
to arbitrarily style a given link (btw, the preview pane doesn't like
fenced blocks, or is it just me?)

seems I'll stick with inline html, I was puzzled to see that it doesn't
seem to be an easy way to put custom styles via markdown :-?

anyway, thanks for the insights

Hi all,

probably is a dumb issue and I'm missing something obvious, but so far, I
haven't been able to solve it:

Is there an easy way to tell a markdown link to use a specific css class?
I'd like to render links pointing outside the incubator site with an
"external" css class. I know I can write the html equivalent, but that
feels unnatural, so I'd better avoid that option. I've been poking at a
few
site's sources, but haven't had any luck yet..


thx in advance!

br,
juan pablo
