Description

Short of patching markdown-clj, is there a way to add rel="nofollow" to all links?

This is pretty much a requirement for any user-supplied text that will be displayed on a public webpage, otherwise the SEO spamming crowd will eat you alive.

I've been looking at transformers, but it doesn't seem like they are created for that use case.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the markdown clj codebase to understand how links are rendered and if there is a way to add attributes via transformers.
