Examples: + +- `css/css-foo/bar-print.html` is a print reftest +- `css/css-foo/print/bar.html` is a print reftest +- `css/css-foo/bar-print-001.html` is **not** a print reftest + + +Like ordinary reftests, the reference is specified using a `<link +rel=match>` element. + +The default page size for print reftests is 12.7 cm by 7.62 cm (5 +inches by 3 inches). + +All the features of ordinary reftests also work with print reftests +including [fuzzy matching](reftests.html#fuzzy-matching). Any fuzzy +specifier applies to each image comparison performed i.e. separately +for each page. + +## Page Ranges + +In some cases it may be desirable to only compare a subset of the +output pages in the reftest. This is possible using +``` +<meta name=reftest-pages content=[range-specifier]> +``` +Where a range specifier has the form +``` +range-specifier = <specifier-item> ["," <specifier-item>]* +specifier-item = <int> | <int>? "-" <int>? +``` + +For example to specify rendering pages 1 and 2, 4, 6 and 7, and 9 and +10 of a 10 page page document one could write: + +``` +<meta name=reftest-pages content="-2,4,6,7,9-"> +``` |
