can someone point me in the direction of documentation for tweaking red cloth?

in particular i want to have it make all hrefs be <a href="" target="_blank">

thanks for any help.

If you're determined to 'tweak' RedCloth this seems to work:

  require 'redcloth'

  class RedCloth
    def inline_textile_link( text )
      text.gsub!( LINK_RE ) do |m|
        pre,atts,text,title,url,slash,post = $~[1..7]

        url, url_title = check_refs( url )
        title ||= url_title

        atts = pba( atts )
        atts = " href=\"#{ url }#{ slash }\"#{ atts }"
        atts << " title=\"#{ title }\"" if title
        atts = shelve( atts ) if atts

        "#{ pre }<a#{ atts } target=\"_blank\">#{ text }</a>#{ post }"
      end
    end
  end

  puts RedCloth.new('Read "the friendly manual":http://redcloth.rubyforge.org/&#39;\).to_html

However, are you sure it's necessary?

  rc = RedCloth.new('You "really should...":http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?KeepItSimpleStupid&#39;\)
  puts rc.to_html.gsub(/<a([^>]*)>/,'<a\1 target="_blank">')

Cheers,
