I am using LucidSpark  to develop a multi-page interactive web presentation with many linked LucidSpark pages so I am exporting each LucidSpark page as a separate  SVG  and using the hyperlink feature to provide the links.

It's working beautifully with one small issue. When I publish the files on my website the links are opening in a separate tab because LucidSpark creates the <a tag with target="_blank"

I can edit this out in a text editor but it is quite a lot of work and makes the maintenance of the pages quite laborious.

Is there s setting in LucidSpark to disable the annotation of target="_blank" in the <A> tag when exporting to SVG?

    Hi Phillip Thanks for getting back so promptly. I'm in Sydney Aust so there's a time-zone challenge!

    Exporting a page containing hyperlinks to SVG generates HTML <a> tags with the target set to _blank

    like:

    So when the user clicks the link the new page is displayed in a new tab in their browser.
    My question is can I configure LucidSpark to generate these tags with no target like:
    You can see what I am building at www.gpsanimator.com/aero . At the moment it is very much "Under Construction". I have had to edit out the 'target="_blank" ' from the SVG files before uploading them to the website in order to get the clicked links to open in the same browser tab.
