You know how <code>target="_blank"</code> is invalid in XHTML strict? Well, this plugin uses a Javascript hack to get around this. The code was originally taken from this thread I came across: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum21/11165.htm
For posts/pages, the plugin will automatically captures any <code>target="_blank"</code>‘s inserted by the WP editor and modifies them to keep the page XHTML Strict valid. Then some small Javascript is inserted into each page which re-inserts <code>target="_blank"</code> so that the functionality is restored after your page has been validated!
For non-post/page content (eg templates/widgets), simply give your outbound links a class name of <code>external</code>, and the rest will be done automatically while keeping your page XHTML valid.
<h3>To Do</h3>
Future things I plan to add:
<ul>
<li>Integration into WP edit page to allow use of plugin without manually editing HTML.</li>
</ul>

External Linker

Allows you to get around using target="_blank" by converting all your outbound links using Javascript.

A completely blank custom page template to build on.
Blank includes two extremely minimalist (and when I say minimalist, I mean this probably isn’t what you’re looking for) custom page templates, Blank and Creative.
Blank — Blank is truly, well, blank. It will literally output nothing, except for exactly what you enter into the page content area (not even the doctype, html, head, or body tags are there by default).
Creative — Creative is just Blank, but includes the doctype, html, head, and body tags as well as scripts and styles output by WordPress, your theme, and plugins by default.
Notes
<ul>
<li>To set a template, select “Blank” or “Creative” under Page Attributes > Template when editing a page.</li>
<li>Neither option will include any actual visible content from your theme: logo, menu, footer, etc.</li>
<li>If you would like to extend the usefulness of the plugin by enabling PHP in the post editor, see: <a href="https://github.com/webguyio/allow-php-in-wordpress" rel="nofollow ugc">github.com/webguyio/allow-php-in-wordpress</a>.</li>
