The IETF uses a specific format for the standards and other documents
|
|
it publishes as RFCs, and for the draft documents which are produced
|
|
when developing documents for publications. There exists a number of
|
|
different tools to facilitate the formatting of drafts and RFCs
|
|
according to the existing rules, and this tool, **xml2rfc**, is one of
|
|
them. It takes as input an xml file which contains the text and
|
|
meta-information about author names etc., and transforms it into
|
|
suitably formatted output. The input xml file should follow the
|
|
grammars in RFC 7749 (for v2 documents) or RFC 7991 (for v3 documents).
|
|
Note that the grammar for v3 is still being refined, and changes will
|
|
eventually be captured in the bis draft for 7991.
