 The preferred submission format for CSSWG tests is either XHTML or HTML5, in UTF-8. HTML < 5 is also acceptable, but it will be processed by an HTML5 compatible parser. SVG is also acceptable where necessary.
-Note that in general, the test source will be parsed and re-serialized, even in its source format. The re-serialization will cause minor changes to the test file, notably: attribute values will always be quoted, whitespace between attributes will be collapsed to a single space, duplicate attributes will be removed, optional closing tags will be inserted, and invalid markup will be normalized. If these changes should make the test inoperable, for example if the test is testing markup error recovery, add the flag 'asis' to prevent re-serialization. This flag will also prevent format conversions so it may be necessary to provide alternate versions of the test in other formats (XHTML, HTML, etc.)

 Images must be in either PNG or SVG format. (PNG is preferred where raster images can be used.)
