 * I’m having trouble getting the target=”_blank” parameter to work. I noticed there
   was an old discussion about this, but then the thread was closed. Has there been
   any sort of resolution?
 * Here is my code. Am I missing something?
 * [MMFileList folder=”/../../director_memos/2017_director_memos/” format=”li” target
   =”_blank”]{name}
 * [/MMFileList]

 * When you use a custom template like in your example that may conflict with the
   target parameter so you have to add it to your item template.
 * I think what you’d be looking for is:
 * `[MMFileList folder="/../../director_memos/2017_director_memos/" format="li" 
   target="_blank"]<a href="{url}" target="_blank">{name}</a>[/MMFileList]`
