See CKEditor 5 config settings.

This example htmlSupport is intentionally limited. A permissive setting would look like the following:

 "htmlSupport": {
    "allow": [
      {
        "attributes": true,
        "classes": true,
        "styles": true
      }
    ]
  },

Nice to see examples of other configs also https://gist.github.com/johnfmorton/4272cc5a8c3228816efde337cf54e06a

Here's a good article on configuration compared to redactor. Updated the example to include the links in a new tab option.
