[TYPO3-dev] typolink and frameset targets

[Elmar Hinz]

Hi all,

10 years ago framesets have been a widespread standard. Since then they
neraly became extinted. (Apart from a well known CMS  backend.) For the lib
extension I like to document the behaviour of the typolink function. The
sourcecode if that function is famous. I try it with some stupid question
first.

On the one hand internal and extenal targets are set somewhere in TS, I
remember there also have been constants to set. (I never did fully
understand, how to use them in the proper way). On the other hand the
typolink function knows the configuration properties "target"
and "extTarget".

How does the TS default configuration of the targets get into my links?
Do I have to set the properties "target" and "extTarget" with the defaults
myself?
Go the TS default's into the typolink function, without setting them?
If they do the latter, how does it work and wich is the ultimative TS
property the typolink function is reading?

Thank you

Elmar
