=== Add Markdown Style Links to Creole ===
Perhaps an option would be to support the traditional Usemod style of links in addition to Markdown style links. This has the advantage of providing historical support for what most users are familiar with while still providing a more readable alternative for those that care.
{{{
[description](link)
}}}
For those that really care about readability, Markdown's footnote style link syntax might be a welcome addition as well:
{{{
[description][id]
[id]: http://example.com/ "Optional Title Here"
}}}
==== Advantages ====
* Supports description|link style link which can be programatically differentiated from the link|description style
* Description before link more readable (someone from Wikipedia mentions this from experience on this site)
* Footnote style provides even more readability for those that care
* An increasing amount of people are familiar with Markdown syntax
==== Disadvantages ====
* Conflicts with current Creole spec
* Increases complexity with a second linking style
*
