Markdown target="blank" (html) doesn´t work

Question

As you can see if you click into the image a new tab won't open and you will leave the repo, I have tried _blank but as in markdown _ is for italic I had to use _ but it didn't work, you can find a shortcut to the whole markdown code

Answer 1

This has already been answered here: Can I create links with 'target="_blank"' in Markdown?

From that answer:

Most Markdown engines I've seen allow plain old HTML, just for situations like this where a generic text markup system just won't cut it. (The StackOverflow engine, for example.) They then run the entire output through an HTML whitelist filter, regardless, since even a Markdown-only document can easily contain XSS attacks. As such, if you or your users want to create _blank links, then they probably still can.
