do not ovewrite custom attributes e.g. {:rel="sponsored"}

[evodify]

Great plugin! Thanks for creating it.

Please, add a setting to skip manually set attributes.

For example, sometimes I publish sponsored links written in markdown as:
[some text](https://www.sposnsor.com/){:rel="sponsored"}

jekyll-target-blank would remove rel="sponsored" and add the default target="_blank" rel="noopener". This is not a desirable behavior. It should be target="_blank" rel="sponsored noopener" instead.

Sorry, I do not know how to develop a jekyll plugin, so I cannot PR this feature.

Hi @evodify ..You're welcome and thank you for this suggestion. I will add this feature in a future release. Meanwhile, kindly note that you should be able to add your rel attributes using HTML such as <a href="#" rel="sponsor">Sponsor</a>. The plugin will add to the existing rel and not overwrite it 😄

Hello, I am struggling with the same problem. There could be some temporary solutions, like excluding some pages (#55) or making the plugin work only for Markdown links (#56).

Looking forward to the next release 😍🚀

Best,

Hi @xplosionmind 😄

I'm also looking forward to the next release 😄

I'll try to fit this in asap.

Hello @keithmifsud, do you have any ETA?

[xplosionmind]

Hello, @keithmifsud, any news?

[keithmifsud]

HI @xplosionmind ...sorry.. no news 😞

Meanwhile, kindly note that you should be able to add your rel attributes using HTML such as Sponsor. The plugin will add to the existing rel and not overwrite it smile

@keithmifsud That's not the case. My HTML link in source is along the lines of <a rel="me" href="...">...</a>, but when built, the link becomes <a rel="noopener" href="...">...</a>.

I now use https://github.com/twinsunllc/jekyll-link-attributes instead; works like a charm.
