Setting FM markers for external links

2009-10-28 Thread Jon Harvey
Everyone,

 

Our processes include importing FM 9.0 files into MadCap Flare to create
online help. Many of these docs we develop in FrameMaker include URLs to
Web pages that we would like to have open in their own browser window
(not in the online help window). The problem is that each time we import
into Flare, we have to add a target=myURL.htm attribute to each a
tag. Is there a hypertext marker in FM that will enable us to set it
and forget it so we don't have to change the a tag each time? I've
tried solving this problem on the Flare side by modifying the CSS but
there is apparently no such CSS attribute that will do this.
