[ale] New Tab

[James Sumners]

Both methods are equivalent; and equivalently deprecated, too. There
is no way to specifically spawn a new tab. That is up to the client.

While your method of opening a new window works, I would like to
recommend something that doesn't annoy the hell out of those of us who
dislike web pages behaving in undesired ways. If you do <a
href="linked_page.html" onclick="window.open('linked_page.html');
return false;"> instead, the page will open in a new window if the
client has javascript enabled. If they do not, then the link will
still open.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
