What is MIME type "text/x-textile"?

A MIME type is a string that tells browsers and other tools how to handle a particular kind of file.

text/x-textile is a MIME type for files written in the Textile markup language. It marks plain text files that use simple symbols to indicate formatting rules. These rules get converted to HTML for browser rendering.

• Markup Conversion: Converts plain text with Textile markup into HTML, easing web content creation.
• Simplicity: Uses a minimal syntax that is easy to write and read for formatting content.
• Supports blogging, documentation, and content management systems.

This MIME type is commonly seen in files like TEXTILE. It helps software identify that these files should be processed with a Textile parser to produce formatted HTML output. For more technical details, visit this reference.
