help:dtext

DText is the name of Danbooru's custom text formatting language. It's a mishmash of several markup languages, including BBCode, MediaWiki, Markdown, and HTML.

Basic formatting

Links

Links using ID

Images

Paragraphs

Paragraphs are separated by blank lines.

A single line break inside a paragraph
creates a new line
instead of a new paragraph.

Horizontal rules

Use [hr] on a line by itself to create a horizontal rule, like this:

Headings

Use h4. text, h5. text, or h6. text to create a heading:

h4. Heading

h5. Heading

h6. Heading

Quotes

[quote]
Chiyo-dad said:
 
I wish I were a bird.
[/quote]

Becomes:

Chiyo-dad said:

I wish I were a bird.

Quotes can be nested:

[quote]
  [quote]
    Hello everyone~!
  [/quote]

  Oh my gah!
[/quote]

Becomes:

Hello everyone~!

Oh my gah!

Lists

Start a line with an '*' to make a list:

* Item 1
* Item 2
** Item 2.a
** Item 2.b
* Item 3

Becomes:

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 2.a
• Item 2.b
• Item 3

Expands

Use [expand] to create collapsible blocks of text:

[expand]
Text that is hidden by default. Click the "Show" button to expand the block and make the text visible.
[/expand]

Becomes:

Use [expand=Custom title] to add a custom title:

[expand=Custom title]
This text is hidden by default. Clicking the "Show" button will expand the block.
[/expand]

Becomes:

Tables

Use HTML table tags to make a table.

To use the optional table element attributes use this syntax: [<element‑name> <attribute>="<value>"]
Note: You can specify more than one valid attribute on an element.

Example:

[table]
  [thead]
    [tr]
      [th colspan="3" align="center"]Table[/th]
    [/tr]
    [tr align="center"]
      [th]A[/th]
      [th]B[/th]
      [th]C[/th]
    [/tr]
  [/thead]
  [tbody]
    [tr]
      [td align="left"]L[/td]
      [td align="center"]C[/td]
      [td align="right"]R[/td]
    [/tr]
    [tr]
      [td]---1---[/td]
      [td]---2---[/td]
      [td]---3---[/td]
    [/tr]
  [/tbody]
[/table]
