- Description
- The SHN file format, short for Shorten Compressed Audio File, is a type of compressed audio file developed for efficiently archiving high-quality digital audio. Shorten was one of the early lossless compression methods for audio, meaning it allows the exact original audio data to be reconstructed from the compressed data, without any loss in quality.
- Djot is a lightweight plain-text markup language designed as a faster, simpler alternative to Markdown with unambiguous syntax rules. It is used for writing documents that can be converted to formats like HTML, PDF, or others. The .dj extension marks plain text files written in this syntax.
