DText is the name of Danbooru's — and by extension, SWAbooru's — custom text formatting language. It's a mishmash of several markup languages, including BBCode, MediaWiki, Markdown, and HTML.
Overtime, the functions of DText will expand as Chef further develops the system behind it, and will reflect in updates to this help page.

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] Fatpat said: Yup. [/quote]
Becomes:
Fatpat said:
Yup.
Quotes can be nested:
[quote] [quote] Pope Francis: Oh boy, time to finally play that Undertale game that fine young man gave me. [/quote] [b]Pope Francis has died on Easter Monday aged 88[/b] [/quote]
Becomes:
Pope Francis: Oh boy, time to finally play that Undertale game that fine young man gave me.
Pope Francis has died on Easter Monday aged 88
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:
Show
This text is hidden by default. Clicking the "Show" button will expand the block.
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:
Custom title
This text is hidden by default. Clicking the "Show" button will expand the block.
Tables
Use HTML table tags to make a table.
| Table Tags | ||
|---|---|---|
| DText Tags | Valid Optional Attributes | |
[table] | ||
[thead] | align | |
[tbody] | align | |
[tr] | align | |
[col] | align, span | |
[colgroup] | ||
[th] | align, colspan, rowspan | |
[td] | align, colspan, rowspan | |
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.
| Table Element Attributes | |
|---|---|
| Attributes | Attributes Values |
align | left, right, center, justify |
span | positive integer |
colspan | positive integer |
rowspan | positive integer |
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]
Becomes:
| Table | ||

| L | C | R |
| ---1--- | ---2--- | ---3--- |
