+>> Hi Charles,
+>>
+>> Thanks for the hint! I don't know CSS3 yet :) What modern and popular
+>> WWW browsers do support it now?
+>>
+>>> Safari supports it. Firefoz&Co support most of it. IE6 did not, but IE7
+>>> supports a fair part of CSS3, ans is said to support selectors.
+>>>
+>>> Example on how to use selectors here: http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2002/08/30/external
+>>>
+>>> I also think this should be in an external plugin, not in ikiwiki.
+>>>
+
+I find CSS3 support still spotty... Here are some notes on how to do this in IkiWiki with jQuery: <http://iki.u32.net/setup/External_Links> --[[sabr]]
+
+> If you need to achieve this in IkiWiki itself, I imagine you could create a
+> plugin which runs in the `format` phase of rendering and search/replaces
+> specific link patterns. This should be a fairly simple exercise in regular
+> expressions.

+> I wouldn't mind adding a _single_ css class to ikiwiki links, but it
+> would have to be a class added to all internal, not all external, links.
+> Reason is that there are many ways for external links to get into an
+> ikiwiki page, including being entered as raw html. The only time ikiwiki
+> controls a link is when an internal link is added using a WikiLink.
