Issue Summary
Other Markdown users have figured out a way to add the rel="nofollow attribute to links:
[link text](http://website.com/){:rel=nofollow}Here's an example of this syntax using the Maruku interpreter: Markdown Cheat Sheet.
This may seem like a minor detail, but it prevents SEO-minded people from using Markdown in Drupal. They have to revert to traditional <a> tags/XHTML.
Comments
#1
Neither of the linked pages seem to mention this syntax. Is there a published reference for it somewhere one might use to implement this?
#2
Noticed an earlier issue, #381302: Allow to add link attributes, that would cover this, so I'm marking this as a duplicate to consolidate the discussion.
