Media icon

Key point: Icon that helps you identify the media type of a file or document quickly.

To identify the media type of a document quickly, PageSeeder uses a consistent set of icons.

Multiple media types might share the same icon. For example, all images use the same icon regardless of the actual file format. This is usually because they are treated in the same manner by PageSeeder.

The following table shows the icons based on the file extension.

Icon	Extension(s)	Description
	`.xml`	XML document
	`.psml`	PSML document
	`.pdf`	PDF document
	`.jar`, `.zip`, `.tar`, `.gz`	File using a known compression format
	`.gif`, `.png`, `.ico`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.webp`	Image file
	`.js`, `.json`	JavaScript or JSON file
	`.mathml`, `.mml`, `.tex`	MathML or Latex file
	`.sch`, `.xsd`	Schematron or XML schema file
	`.doc`, `.docx`	Microsoft Word document
	`.xls`, `.xlsx`	Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
	`.ppt`, `.pptx`	Microsoft PowerPoint presentation
	`.css`	CSS file
	`.mp4`, `.mov`, `...`	Video streaming file
	`.mp3`, `.wav`, `...`	Audio file
	`.txt`, `.csv`, `.md`	Text or markdown file
	`.properties`	Properties file
	`.html`	HTML document

XML is a common markup language used by many media types. PageSeeder marks as XML, any document that uses XML but is not processed differently by PageSeeder.

PageSeeder identifies a file as an image, audio, or video type based on the corresponding media type. But since web browsers support different coding formats, it doesn’t mean that PageSeeder is able to process or display it.

PSML document type icons

To quickly distinguish PSML documents based on their document type, the default PSML icon includes a colored pill whenever a document has a document type other than ‘default’.
