Links with attributes lost in conversion from HTML to markdown

I tried something like this but was suprised by the conversion

❯ pandoc -t markdown -f html
<a  href="https://CRAN.R-project.org/banner.shtml#submitting"  target="_blank">https://CRAN.R-project.org/banner.shtml#submitting</a>.
^Z
<https://CRAN.R-project.org/banner.shtml#submitting>.

The attributes is lost in the conversion. 

Is there any option / extensions that controls this ? Is this expected ? 

Thank you.

This was fixed recently. Can you try with pandoc 2.16.2?

I got this behavior with 2.16.2 and nightly version too.

I believe the supposed fix was https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/7692

The examples in there works but they are Markdown reader to Markdown Writer

 echo "[https://example.com](https://example.com){.clz}" | pandoc --to markdown
[https://example.com](https://example.com){.clz}

This works with HTML too 

echo "<a href='https://example.com' class='clz'>https://example.com<a>" | pandoc --to markdown --from html
[https://example.com](https://example.com){.clz}

The issue here is specific to some attributes on the HTML even if they are 
valide ones (like target for a tags)

echo "<a href='https://example.com' target='_blank'>https://example.com<a>" | pandoc --to markdown --from html
<https://example.com>

which does not happen from mardkown to markdown

echo "[https://example.com](https://example.com){target='_blank'}" | pandoc --to markdown
[https://example.com](https://example.com){target="_blank"}

So I guess this is something in the reader regarding dropping HTML 
attributes 

Does that make sense ? 

I’ll open an issue

 Probably this issue in fact: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/6970 

so this is not fixed yet
