Auto-generated links do not work (and how to fix them)

A string that begins by "http://" or "https://" in a post is automatically transformed into a link. However, this link leads nowhere. Example: https://www.glocals.com


This is the HTML generated:


<a target="_new">https://www.glocals.com</a>


It should be fixed in this way:


<a target="_new" target="_blank" href="https://www.glocals.com">https://www.glocals.com</a>

Hmmm, the links got messed up. Otherwise said:


The a HTML tag lacks a target="_blank" href="" to tell the link where to go, so it should be added.

Please ignore any target=_blank strings in the above posts, these were added automatically by the Glocals site and were not in what I wrote.
