Close

Background and rationale

Moin allows internal linking with the parameter target="_blank.

[[SomePage||target="_blank"]]

This forces the browser to open the target in a new tab or window, which is convenient if you don't want the user to loose their position in the calling window.

However, if this is forced by target="_blank", the user should be given an obvious way to close the new tab or window.

Description

The Close macro inserts a link to make a Java close request. By default it inserts 'Close' as the link label, with the parameter set to provides alternative text. No wiki markup is processed.

Known issues and limitations
