How do you add a new line using RoR?  
What do I need to add to link\_to to make it open a new page?

Thank you

Simpler yet, go to  
[Getting Started with Rails — Ruby on Rails Guides](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html)

hi,  
add :target =\> “blank”, or take a look at www.agilente.eu. This is my  
site  
and in the articles all external links use a js to pop up a new window
