How can I get a link to open a new tab? html code is " target="blank"
This does not seem to work on Podcast People. Can you tell me how to format the opening of a new tab?
For example, how would I format the following so that it opens in a new window/tab?

Thanks!

target="_blank" actually attempts to open a new browser window rather than a new tab but newer browsers (such as Firefox) automatically open these pop-up windows as tabs by default.
To use target="_blank" you need to format the entire link with HTML rather than Textile. You can see an example here.
The result should look like this: Reading Research Quarterly 42 number 2
Note of warning though, it is generally considered bad Web usability to open a new tab or browser window with a link for a couple of reasons:
- It disables the Back button which is the normal way users return to previous sites.
- The TARGET attribute is deprecated and no longer valid by HTML 4.01 Strict specifications. (which means it may not work in some browsers)
