Inclusion rule. All 29 tools on the intake register. A tool whose pages say nothing on this checkpoint is shown as not stated. Order. Alphabetical by tool name.

1What the checkpoint covers

Formats is the route a text takes in. Every tool on the register names at least one, because naming a route is part of the rule for being on it; they differ on how specific they are. Six name file types, from a single .txt to five script formats. Nine describe an upload or an import without saying which files it takes. Ten offer only a box to paste or type into.

Four also accept something that is not text at all: a link to existing content, an uploaded video to break down, audio or files of other kinds. Those routes are recorded here because the vendors put them beside the text box, not because they are a way to bring in a novel.
