    The problem is caused by the semicolon after the last quote marks.
    The line should be
    (link: "*Facebook posts*")[(gotourl: "https://www.facebook.com";)]

    If you based your code on my response to this post - http://twinery.org/forum/discussion/4886/external-links#latest then the message board added that semicolon to my post for some reason. Sorry for the confusion.

    Is there a way that makes the link open in a new tab instead?

    Not at the moment. There is a (openurl:) macro which looks like it should, but it doesn't work in the current version.

    ETA: I spoke too soon. It is possible using a standard html link

    <a href="https://www.facbook.com"; target="_blank">*Facebook posts*</a>

    It won't look like other links unless you use some css to style the link.

    you can use the following to style the <a> link to look like Harlowe's: 
    tw-passage a {
	color: #4169E1;
	font-weight: 700;
	text-decoration: none;
}
tw-passage a:hover {
	color: #00bfff;
}

    By the way, if you're willing to add the "enchantment-link" class to each <a> link, you can have your links automatically styled to match Harlowe's.
    <a class="enchantment-link" href="http://twinery.org"; target="_blank">Harlowe-styled link</a>

    The downside is that you have to add the class to each <a> link you create. The upside is that it'll always look like Harlowe's links, even if the styling changes from one version of Harlowe to another.
