i am saving the editor contents and then i am retrieving it in a different page as below.
<p class="textAlignLeft" ng-bind-html="editorContent | unsafe"></p>
"editorContent" will have the contents entered in the richtext editor, and the hyper link in it has to open in a new window.
in the browser console i am getting the following output.
<p class="textAlignLeft ng-binding" ng-bind-html="editorContent | unsafe">ajslkjsak sdsad</p>

Answer 1

One way of doing that would be to bind to click event of anchor tag and open URL in new tab using JavaScript.
Say, the ID of your editor is "editor", the following code would work with it
$("a", "#editor").click(function(e) {
window.open($(this).attr('href'), '_blank')
});
this will bind click event on all the a tags inside editor div and when the user clicks any of it, the url will be opened in new window.
Update:
using jQuery, it is very easy. First assign an id to your <p> tag like
<p id="myCustomContent" class="textAlignLeft" ng-bind-html="newsContent | unsafe"></p>
Where myCustomContent is the id
now use the following code
$("a", "#myCustomContent").each(function() {
$(this).attr('target', '_blank');
});
this will loop once on all the anchor tags and make them open in new tab when user clicks on them.
