Description

I would like all links in a section to be nofollow. I guess implementation would be similar to openLinksInNewWindow Is it possible to have it only set on a particular VueShowdown component or class?

Research direction
Investigate the implementation of the 'openLinksInNewWindow' option in the showdown source code (likely in src/showdown.js). Understand how options are added and how link HTML is generated. Then implement a similar mechanism for a new option, e.g., 'nofollowLinks', that adds rel="nofollow" to anchor tags. Optionally, explore how to scope this per instance or component as mentioned in the issue regarding VueShowdown.
