Example link in lesson text opens to FCC website in same tab

Normally I agree that links should open in a different tab but in this case I don't think it should open to a new tab. This is an example of the type of link that does not open into a new tab. If it opened into a new tab, it would be using HTML that is different than the HTML that the lesson text says it is an example of.

@beaucarnes Agreed, although if a camper though decides to click on that link as it is an active link, it will bring them to the freecodecamp.org website in the same tab they are viewing the lesson.

We could change the example to use a _blank. Ideally, we don't want to take users away from their lesson. I don't think there will be many queries over the target attribute.

Notes to contributors, this should be fixed in the freecodecamp/curriculum repository, the code is not held in learn.

[beaucarnes]

I agree with both of you now. I noticed that target="_blank" is introduced in the previous lesson so hopefully people will understand when it is used in this lesson.
