What is MIME type "text/x.teletext.tti"?

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

text/x.teletext.tti denotes a file that holds Teletext data. It is tailored for files that work with legacy teletext systems, especially from MGR Systems.

Files in this format are plain text. They include special control codes and layout instructions. These details let teletext viewers or emulators render pages as they would appear on old broadcast systems.

Primary use: Storing and displaying teletext page data.
Other uses: Archiving legacy teletext broadcasts and converting teletext content for digital applications.

When you see a file labeled as TTI, it contains text with embedded instructions for teletext display. For more background on teletext technology, visit Teletext on Wikipedia.

FAQ

What is a MIME type?

A MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) type is a standard that indicates the nature and format of a document, file, or assortment of bytes. MIME types are defined and standardized in IETF's RFC 6838.

MIME types are important because they help browsers and servers understand how to process a file. When a browser receives a file from a server, it uses the MIME type to determine how to display or handle the content, whether it's an image to display, a PDF to open in a viewer, or a video to play.

MIME types consist of a type and a subtype, separated by a slash (e.g., text/html, image/jpeg, application/pdf). Some MIME types also include optional parameters.

How do I find the MIME type for a file?

You can check the file extension or use a file identification tool such as file --mime-type on the command line. Many programming languages also provide libraries to detect MIME types.

Why are multiple MIME types listed for one extension?

Different applications and historical conventions may use alternative MIME identifiers for the same kind of file. Showing them all helps ensure compatibility across systems.
