Anchor tag with target attribute - Markdown

In Markdown, there is simple way to write anchor tag.

[Your Text](http://yourdomain.com)

The above line will generate <a href="http://yourdomain.com">Your Text</a> anchor tag.

There is a target attribute for anchor tag and it can control the behaviour of our link.

<a href="http://yourdomain.com" target="_blank">Your Text</a>

When we click on this link, it will open the URL in a new browser tab.

In Markdown also, we can add this target attribute.

This is [My Home Page](http://sarathlal.com){:target="_blank"}
