Links opening in a new window?

[Tony Leggett]

Hi all,

This is a Noob question but I couldn't find anything on the syntax  
page about making a link that opens in a hew window (and two years of  
email archives was too much).

For eg. with "This is an [example link](http://example.com/)" where do  
I put target="_blank" or its equivalent so it opens in a new page?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thx

Tony
