Opening an External File Link in a New Window

Last Modified: July 6, 2006

Some project modifications cannot be made through the GUI so we have created this article to provide steps for modifying the content.xsl file using project target overrides. For more information on how to perform a project target override, please see ““Creating Project Target Overrides””.

content.xsl file is located by default in: C:\Program Files\WebWorks\ePublisher Pro\Formats\[FORMAT]\Transforms. Where [FORMAT] is the format from which you have based the target being generated.

1)	Open the new content.xsl file in the project directory with the text editor of your choice.

2)	Copy this code:

<xsl:variable name="VarTarget" select="wwprojext:GetFormatSetting('external-url-target', '_window')" />

3)	Search for the comment, `<!-- Baggage -->`.

4)	Paste the code in between the following code, located under `<!-- Baggage -->`

5)	Save content.xsl file and close it.

6)	In your ePublisher Pro project, select Project > Regenerate All.
