Notes:

   - You can't embed TW wiki syntax *within* a parameter value
   - But you CAN construct an entire parameter value using wikitext syntax
   - Macros/Variables use DOUBLED angle brackets, <<macroname param param 
   param ...>>
   - Within filter syntax, macros/variables use SINGLE angle brackets.
   - You can't use macros with parameters inside filter syntax.
   - Widgets always use SINGLE angle brackets, <$widgetname param=... 
   param="... />
   - Widgets either have matching <$widgetname ...>content</$widgetname>, 
   or use "short-form", <$widgetname ... /
   - You can't use widgets inside filter syntax

In the above example, target="_blank" is causes the external link to open 
in a new tab or window.

enjoy,
