what css level does wkhtmltopdf support 8/2015

Question

I am using wkhtmltopdf 0.12.1 (with patched qt)

While most CSS3 stuff - at least what I use - works fine, some need a '-webkit-' prefix, like transform

Others, like border-image seem to work only with the short form (and prefixed). ie. border-image-xxx, seem not to work, SVG seems not to be supported at all

So the question: How can I find out, what level of CSS3 support wkhtmltopdf has? Trial and error is very time consuming, and probably erronous, because of typos.

edid: based on answer

I am testing with Chrome, FF, IE, Opera & safari (as possible with windows), wkhtmltopdf is like an own browser - sorringliy its seems not big enough to get a place in 'official' lists

Still no concrete answer to this? – Funky

Answer 1

It uses CSS2 - to my knowledge, no CSS3 properties will work.

Answer 2

wkhtmltopdf uses webkit. This is used by Safari and Chrome as well.

Details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit

So if you check http://caniuse.com for these browsers you should get a good result.

Final tests are still a good thing though.

wkhtmltopdf is like an own browser, and reacts different than safari & chrome – Ridglee

Thanks for the comment. So there is a need for a suite of test cases for wkhtmltopdf. I wonder where we find candidates for an existing suite to be run through wkhtmltopdf? – Vivianaviviane

hm, why an own set? In prinziple the cases for "other" browsers should do in a first step, ok, not tests for pdf specific things like page break, but css sould work. or not? – Ridglee

Cases of "other" browsers are OK and are needed as well. But wkhtmltopdf is for printing and that needs specific test cases. – Vivianaviviane

hm, but you need optical testcase check in both cases, dont you? – Ridglee
