Using images as links

[Kevin Goldstein]

If I want to include an image in a wiki page i would use the code

attachment:IconsPage/IconUbuntu.png

If i want to make a link I would use the code

[http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu]

Now if I want the Icon to link to www.ubuntu.com and use the code

[http://www.ubuntu.com attachment:IconsPage/IconUbuntu.png]

the link will appear as the text "attachment:IconsPage/IconUbuntu.png"
on the wiki rather than an Icon.

This is the suggested syntax which works on
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnLinking.
but not on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpOnLinking
with the wiki code
[http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/wiki/common/moinmoin.png  moinmoin.png]

Let me phrase the question in HTML. How would I code the following for the wiki:

<a href="www.foo.com"><img src="foo.jpg" alt="foo" /></a>
