Change the HTML Link Target Type

Aspose.Cells allows you to change the HTML link target type. HTML link looks like this :

 <a href="http://www.aspose.com/" target="_self">

As you can see the target attribute in the above HTML link is _self. You can control this target attribute using the HtmlSaveOptions.setLinkTargetType() property. This property takes the HtmlLinkTargetType enum which has the following values.

• BLANK
• PARENT
• SELF
• TOP

You can get the source excel file from this link however you can use any excel file which contains an HTML hyperlink inside it to run this code.
