Formats connected with the World Wide Web, though most of them overlap into other categories; basically everything that can be put in a file format of any sort can be put on the Web, and a multiplicity of types of [[document]]s, [[graphics]], [[Audio and Music|audio]], [[video]], [[markup]], [[Programming Languages|programming languages]], and more, are used there. The Web is a variety of [[hypermedia]], by far the most successful one.
