 * When using the link button with WP 4.2.2 and Syntax Highlighting in WordPress
   HTML Editor Version 1.6.7 extra attributes are added to the link regardless of
   the link settings. For example, `title="undefined"` is added to all links. `target
   ="_blank"` is correctly added when “Open link in a new window/tab” is selected,
   however `target=""` is added even when the option is deselected. Also the “Link
   Text” field is not inserted as link text. If no text is selected before clicking
   the link button, an empty link is created. `<a href="... ></a>`
