Description
Starting in Confluence 6, User Macros which contain a "target" tag have that tag removed when used on a page. The same sort of target tag worked in 5.10.8 and prior. A common use for this type of macro is to allow creating links that open in a new tab. Here is an example User Macro:
## Macro title: Link in Tab ## Macro has a body: N ## Body processing: Selected body processing option ## Output: Selected output option ## This is an example macro ## @param 0:title=Link Text|type=string|required=true|desc=Link title text ## @param 1:title=Link URL|type=string|required=true|desc=Any link URL (not intended for Wiki links) <a href="$param1" target="_blank">$param0</a>
If you view the HTML generated in 5.10.8 when using this macro, the target tag is clearly there. In Confluence 6 and later, the HTML does not contain the target tag. Issue occurs no matter what the actual target is. The target portion of the HTML is always stripped out in Confluence 6 and later.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create a new User Macro using the HTML above.
- Use this macro on a page to create a link.
- After saving the page, click the link and note that it does not open in a new tab.
- View the source for the page and observe that there is no target tag.
- Repeat the above steps in Confluence 5.10.8 or earlier and observe that the link opens in a new tab, and the HTML for the page includes the target tag.
