DText is Danbooru's custom text formatting language. It's a mishmash of several markup languages, including BBCode, MediaWiki, Markdown, and HTML.
You can use the "Preview" button in the top left of the text editor to see what your formatting will look like. You can also use help:sandbox to experiment with formatting.
