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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
xml2rfc is one of a number of tools available to facilitate the formatting
|
|
|
|
|
of drafts and RFCs according to the existing rules. It takes as input an
|
|
|
|
|
xml file that 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 RFC7749 (for v2 documents)
|
|
|
|
|
or RFC7991 (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
|
|
|
|
|
(also see https://ietf-tools.github.io/xml2rfc/).

To use PDF output, "pkg_add weasyprint noto-fonts roboto-fonts".
