[image] [Release] [License] [![PyPI - Version]](https://pypi.org/project/xml2rfc/) [![PyPI - Status]](https://pypi.org/project/xml2rfc/) [![PyPI - Format]](https://pypi.org/project/xml2rfc/) ##### Generate RFCs and IETF drafts from document source in XML according to the IETF xml2rfc v2 and v3 vocabularies
- [Changelog] - [Installation] - [Usage] - [Contributing] - [Getting Started] - [Git Cloning Tips] - [Docker Dev Environment] - [Release Procedure] --- ### Introduction 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 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]. Changes not yet captured can be seen in the xml2rfc source [v3.rng], or in the [documentation xml2rfc produces] with its `--doc` flag. **xml2rfc** provides a variety of output formats. See the command line help for a full list of formats. It also provides conversion from v2 to v3, and can run the [preptool] on its input. ### Installation Installation of the python package is done as usual with `pip install xml2rfc`, using appropriate switches. #### Installation of support libraries for the PDF-formatter In order to generate PDFs, **xml2rfc** uses the [WeasyPrint] module, which depends on external libraries that must be installed as native packages on your platform, separately from the **xml2rfc** install. 1. First, install the **Pango**, and other required libraries on your system. See installation instructions on the [WeasyPrint Docs]. 2. Next, install WeasyPrint python modules using pip. ```sh pip install xml2rfc[pdf] ``` 3. Finally, install the required fonts: * Download latest fonts from [xml2rfc-fonts]. * In the **Assets** section, download either the `tar.gz` or the `zip` archive. * Extract the contents of the downloaded `xml2rfc-fonts` archive. * Install the fonts found in the `noto` and `roboto_mono` directories to your operating system. With these installed and available to **xml2rfc**, the `--pdf` switch will be enabled. ### Usage **xml2rfc** accepts a single XML document as input and outputs to one or more conversion formats. #### Basic Usage ```sh xml2rfc SOURCE [options] FORMATS... ``` Run `xml2rfc --help` for a full listing of command-line options. ### Getting Started This project is following the standard **Git Feature Workflow** development model. Learn about all the various steps of the development workflow, from creating a fork to submitting a pull request, in the [Contributing] guide. > Make sure to read the [Styleguides] section to ensure a cohesive code format across the project. You can submit bug reports, enhancements and new feature requests in the [discussions] area. Accepted tickets will be converted to issues.
