['],[/'] - a stressed vowel in a word. You can change the colour of  stressed vowels on the View tab of the Options dialog box (Tools>Options…).

[lang][/lang] - the language of the word or phrase; these tags are used in cards to mark words that are written in a language other than the target language. Words marked by [lang] tags will be indexed, translated, you will be able to see the list of their grammatical forms, etc. Parameters: language name or language ID, e.g. [lang id=1]. The name of the language must be enclosed in brackets, e.g. [lang name="Russian"]. See the list of supported DSL languages in the "Supported Languages" section.

[ref][/ref] - hyperlink to a card in the same dictionary (You can also use "<<" and ">>" to enclose the headword of the card to make a link).

Note: When using the [ref] and [/ref] tags, make sure that the card you refer to actually exists, as DSL Compiler will not automatically check the validity of such references.

[sub][/sub] - subscript

[sup][/sup] -  superscript

Note: DSL does not allow embedding formatting commands of the same type.
