Bug description

I use the "External Links" plugin to decorate external links. It's worked just fine in the past, but I just noticed that the decorations are not showing on the "Synced" website. The decorations do show on the preview site.

I have repeated this using a tiny site with both the stock "Persona_free (v.2.1.1.0)" and the stock "Simple(v.3.1.2.0)" themes.

The External Links plugin version is 2.3.0.

The code in the preview file looks like this:

<div class="entry-wrapper content__entry">
<p>Here is a link to the <a href="https://getpublii.com/" class=
"extlink extlink-icon-1">Publii</a> website.</p>
</div>

The code in the synced / generated output looks like this:

<div class="entry-wrapper content__entry">
<p>Here is a link to the <a href=
"https://getpublii.com/">Publii</a> website.</p>
</div>

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new site.
2. Enable the "External Links" plugin with default settings.
3. Create a post with an external link on it. I used the WYSIWYG editor.
4. Preview, and verify that the external link decoration appears.
5. Sync the website using "Manual Upload" and view the output files in a browser (either with file: URLs or with a local browser), and verify that the external link decoration is missing.

I have attached two files:
