mime-subtype Mime Subtype
Mime subtype for a graphic, multimedia object, or piece of supplementary material.
Usage/Remarks
The source for this attribute’s values is the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA).
Combine @mime-subtype into @mimetype
Avoid using @mime-subtype and @mimetype as separate attributes. Instead, combine mimetype and mime-subtype values separated
by a slash inside @mimetype (e.g., mimetype="application/excel". IANA documentation refers to these combined mimetypes as “media-type”.
Prior to Release 1.4d1 of JATS, the mimetype and subtype attributes were used separately
(mimetype="application" mime-subtype="excel"). For backwards compatibility, this usage will still be valid JATS, although precombined
mimetypes are now preferred.
