I'm using bootstrap on rails and struggling to figure out how to attach a link to a button so that it opens a web address in a new tab.

The code is:

<%= link_to "Learn more about the Royal Lancers»", "#", class: "btn btn-primary btn-lg" %>

I'm trying to link the button in a new tab to

"https://www.army.mod.uk/who-we-are/corps-regiments-and-units/royal-armoured-corps/royal-lancers/"

This is covered in How to use "_blank" or "_new" in Rails; adding target: '_blank' opens the link in a new tab.

<%= link_to "Learn more about the Royal Lancers»", "#", class: "btn btn-primary btn-lg", target: '_blank'%>

This worked: 

<%= link_to "The Royal Lancers »", "https://www.army.mod.uk/who-we-are/corps-regiments-and-units/royal-armoured-corps/royal-lancers/", target: '_blank', class: "btn btn-primary btn-lg" %>
