DText

DText is the name for e621's custom text formatting language. It's a mishmash of several markdown languages including Textile, MediaWiki, BBCode, and Snudown.

↑ Basic Formatting

↑ Colors

↑ Links

Some link formats can have custom titles appended to them.

 [[wiki page|Some Text]] – Some Text
 [[#anchors|Anchors work too!]] – Anchors work too!

↑ Post Thumbnails

↑ Block Formatting

These tags create block-level content. That is, they are not inline like the ones under Basic formatting.

↑ Quote

[quote]Please quote me![/quote]
I'm quoting you!

Please quote me!

I'm quoting you!

↑ Code

Code blocks render characters within blocks of monospaced text that are placed between [code] and [/code]. Thus, [code]std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";[/code] results in:

std::cout << "Hello, World!";

Note: Because of how block-level tags are parsed, newlines may not show up correctly if there is DText inside them. For ways to get around this, see Escaping DText.

↑ Header

h1. Header 1
h2. Header 2
h3. Header 3
h4. Header 4
h5. Header 5
h6. Header 6

Header 1

Header 2

Header 3

Header 4

Header 5

Header 6

↑ List

Create lists by prepending each item with a *. Use multiple *s for nested lists

* Item 1
* Item 2
** Item 2A
** Item 2B
* Item 3

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 2A
• Item 2B
• Item 3

↑ Section

Sections are collapsible boxes used for condensing large amounts of text. Like quote tags they can accept any DText (except headers).

Note that page anchors won't work inside collapsed sections.

[section]Pretend this is a really large block of text.[/section]

[section=Some Title]This one has a title.[/section]

[section,expanded=Title]This is expanded by default.[/section]

↑ Table

Tables use a format that resembles HTML or the BBCode format.

[table]
  [thead]
    [tr]
      [th] header [/th]
      [th] header [/th]
      [th] header [/th]
    [/tr]
  [/thead]
  [tbody]
    [tr]
      [td] column [/td]
      [td] column [/td]
      [td] column [/td]
    [/tr]
    [tr]
      [td] column [/td]
      [td] column [/td]
      [td] column [/td]
    [/tr]
  [/tbody]
[/table]
