Automatically open links to new tab

[howardbaik]

(Used this blogpost as a reference)

I added JS code to assets/open-new-tab.html inside the <script> tag, and pointed this file out to bookdown by placing it in the appropriate field inside _output.yml.

I tested this works by running bookdown::render_book() and clicking on the links on the rendered HTML pages.

My only question is after running bookdown::render_book(), I get a bunch of rendered files in docs/, and I'm not sure whether I need to include the below files in this PR?

Re-rendered previews from the latest commit:

• 👀 Quick preview of course website here *
• 🔬 Comprehensive download of the course website here
• Download the .docx file

* note not all html features will be properly displayed in the "quick preview" but it will give you a rough idea.

Weird that in the GHA generated preview of the course website, the links do NOT open in new tab.

@howardbaek This is an excellent and much needed ad! Thanks so much for figuring this out in a way that's succinct.

@cansavvy I have one followup question. After running bookdown::render_book(), I get a bunch of rendered files in docs/, and I'm not sure whether I need to include the below files in this PR?

No. Don't commit those files to the PR! The files will be re-rendered after this PR is merged.
