: {{code|type "/" [tree "."] subtype ["+" suffix]
As of November 1996, the registered types were: {{code|application}}, {{code|audio}}, {{code|image}}, {{code|message}}, {{code|multipart}}, {{code|text}} and {{code|video}}.<ref name=RFC2045/> By December 2020, the registered types included the foregoing, plus {{code|font}}, {{code|example}}, and {{code|model}}.<ref name="iana-2020-12-09">{{cite web|url=https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml|title=Media Types|publisher=IANA|date=2020-12-09|access-date=2020-12-15}}</ref>
