The list covers text, JSON, PDF, images, fonts, audio and video. When the documents option is set, a second list is added to it.\n\n**Why**\n\nFiles of types outside the list are checked against it, so not every kind of file is accepted by this tool.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
