Thanks Deepak, I looked for similar info, but was unable to find. And in the meantime, got to know about the Rel attribute, so I thought the intended code was rel rather than target='external'. Now, with the new information at hand, I think target="_blank" or target="external" both are correct. All we need to decide is whether to open all links in separate tabs everytime link is clicked or just once.
I think we should open all external links with target="external". WDYAS? Thanks & Regards, Devanshu Vyas.
