This page is in no way yet official.  This is somewhat a sandbox for starting work on a Creole Additions page.  This would have optional markup that wiki developers can choose whether they wish to implement or not.

=== Alternate Link Syntax ===

Spaces before and after the arrow are not required.  If there are multiple {{{->}}}, then a link cannot have a {{{->}}}, so that gets passed to the description.

{{{
[[description -> link]]
[[the -> can be used to make a link -> TextFormattingRules]]
}}}

Recommended XHTML:
{{{
<a href="http://www.examplewiki.com/link">description</a>
<a href="http://www.examplewiki.com/TextFormattingRules">the -&gt; can be used to make a link</a>
}}}

Sample output:

[description|link]\\
[the characters -> can be used to make a link|TextFormattingRules]
