+1 to use Creole syntax for this, I prefer this to mediawiki syntax
(<nowiki>, which looks like html).

+1 to use 2 symbols for everything with 2 exceptions : lists and tables.

Being able to have images as links is a common request, +1 to handle it.
-0 to be able to have text + image in a link.

Creole syntax for this (pipes only) looks both user friendly and not
error prone. Since table lines have to start with a pipe this syntax
does not prevent from using pipes in text.
