====== 6.3.1. Indicate the opening of new windows ======

Each time that a link or button triggers the mandatory opening of a new window in the browser, the user must be forewarned:
  * By adding a reference of type “(new window)”, directly in the link text.
  * Or by adding an image in the link text, with the alternate text duly entered.
  * Or by adding a reference of type “(new window)” in the title attribute.

For example:

<code html>

<a href="cgv.html" target="_blank">General terms and conditions (new window)</a>

<a href="cgv.html" target="_blank">
    General terms and conditions
    <img src="images/new-window-pictogram.png" alt="(new window)" title="(new window)" />
</a>

<a href="cgv.html" target="_blank" title="General terms and conditions (new window)">General terms and conditions</a>

</code>
