MIME Types Configuration
![[screenshot: MIME Types Editor]](images/MIME-Types.png)
The MIME Types Configuration Window enables you to specify what MIME types will be processed as markup. All documents of types listed here will be fetched, and processed according to the selected processing mode.
Processing Modes
Site Valet currently defines four processing modes for markup: HTML, XHTML, XML and SGML. All markup types are validated, while HTML and XHTML documents are further analysed for Accessibility, Links and Metadata. Note that HTML mode supports XHTML 1.0 Appendix C, so it is safe to treat XHTML 1.0 documents as either HTML or XHTML.
