The subtitle layer has its own 'language.' It's more like machine language than anything. Basically telling it when to put something on screen. However, there's a lot of limitations on colors, number of things you can put on simultaneously. Most people don't actually do this by hand, but use DVD authoring software like DVD Studio Pro or Scenarist. However, you would still have to be keep in mind the limitations.
