(Tools hosted by the secretariat are listed at http://www.ietf.org/tools ). Which license? See Preferred License Prepare documents RFC dependency checker Joe Touch A script to check the references in Internet Drafts for dependencies and updates. Bibtex Citation Converter Yaron Sheffer This tools converts bibtex-formatted citations into the bibxml format used in xml2rfc. Many (if not most) academic papers have bibtex citations available online, and the tool makes it easier to reference them in Internet Drafts. Templates for xml2rfc work Elwyn Davies Elwyn Davies has produced a template as a starting point for writing drafts using xml2rfc. You can find a copy of the schema v3 version of the XML template at tools.ietf.org . Draft Submission API Henrik Levkowetz A simplified draft submission interface, intended for automation, is available at https://datatracker.ietf.org/api/submit" . The interface accepts only xml uploads which can be processed on the server, and requires the user to have a datatracker account. A successful submit still requires the same email confirmation roundtrip as submissions done through the regular submission tool. BibXML to Markdown Converter Yaron Sheffer This simple script, bibxml2md, converts bibxml references extracted from xml2rfc files into markdown, for use in kramdown-rfc2629 Internet Drafts. License File for Open Source Repositories IESG Many working groups work with open source repositories, even for their work on specifications. The IESG has made a boilerplate text available for inclusion in repositories, available at the URL above. Write RFCs using wiki-style markup ('markdown') Miek Gieben Pandoc2rfc (see RFC 7328 ) uses Markdown in combination with Make and XSLT scripting to produce internet-drafts in XML format from plain text input. The plain text only needs a few formatting conventions, more or less like wiki markup. See also these OSX installation tips . Draft Submission Henrik Levkowetz The New Internet Draft Submission Tool replaces the older Draft Submission Tool and the even older email submission workflow, and lets an author submit a new or updated draft through a webpage, and have it appear in the archives immediately. XML to Office Open XML converter Eric Vyncke A converter from XML format into Office Open XML .DOCX format (i.e., readable notably by Microsoft Word for spelling / grammar checks) Writing Internet-Drafts using Microsoft Word Joe Touch Use Microsoft Word or .doc-compatible editors to edit Internet Drafts. Word is a WYSIWYG editor that runs on Windows and Mac OSes, with an open-source variant (OpenOffice) that runs on Linux. This method is documented in RFC 5385 based on a template , using a post-processing Perl script . Convert nroff for drafts and RFCs to RFC2629 format XML This is a first release of nroff2xml. The tool is able to get nroff source and generate xml based on it. The output XML has well formed sections, paragraphs, and external references. The output can be successfully processed with xml2rfc. The author is not going to develop this further, as it's served its initial purpose in converting the .nroff source for RFC3315 to xml; other people are however very welcome to pick this up and refine it. Grammar Checkers Wiki Page A list of grammar / spelling checkers for I-D in XML format A configuration for editing xml2rfc-format documents in XXE Bill Fenner , Warren Kumari This is a WYSIKN (What You See Is Kinda Neat) addon for the very configurable XMLMind XML Editor ("xxe"). The personal version of xxe is free and very capable. The addon is capable of graphical editing of sections, anchors, lists, cross-references, etc. and allows word processor-like behavior of "enter" to create a new paragraph or list item. More info in the README . Draft TXT and HTML from XML source (xml2rfc) Henrik Levkowetz xml2rfc will allow you to take your XML source (using the format defined in RFC 2629 and its unofficial successor) and generate well-formatted text and html versions of drafts from it. Version 2 of xml2rfc is a complete rewrite in Python. It is available for installation from the Python Package Index (PyPi): https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xml2rfc/ There's a tutorial available on how to install from PyPi, or if you're impatient you can try the following commands on the command line: pip install xml2rfc if that fails: easy_install pip pip install xml2rfc if that fails, go to the tutorial above. Edit IDs in .nroff with wysiwyg display Stefan Santesson NroffEdit is a Java application for writing and editing Internet Draft files using the nroff format. This application lets you load any I-D nroff file, which will be shown processed in the right-hand window, and can be edited in the left-hand window. Write Internet-Drafts using the LyX Editor. Nico Williams , Yaron Sheffer Use lyx2rfc togeter with LyX to edit Internet-Drafts. LyX is an open source WYSIWYM GUI editor that runs on all major operating systems. Currently lyx2rfc outputs XML, text, and HTML, but only runs on Linux. Write RFCs using asciidoc markup Ronald Tse Asciidoctor-rfc is a tool that allows writing Internet-Drafts using AsciiDoc as an alternative to Kramdown / MMark or manual RFC XML. AsciiDoc is a widely-adopted textual format. Similar to Markdown, it is simple to write and easy to understand, but its major benefit is for being a structured format that directly converts into DocBook XML. Fix document spacing. Henrik Levkowetz Fix up the spacing between sentences to use two spaces. (This is a small script written in awk). Check internet-drafts for submission nits Henrik Levkowetz Use idnits to check that your draft has the desired formatting, boilerplate, references consistency and more. Run a spelling-check on your internet-draft Henrik Levkowetz Idspell uses an IETF-specific wordlist built from the last 2 years' published RFCs, surnames of recent I-D authors and some manually added words. HTML, PDF, or ePub from XML source Julian Reschke A set of XSLT transformations and shell scripts that can be used to transform RFCXML ( RFC 2629 , RFC 7749 , RFC 7991 ) to various output formats, such as HTML, XHTML, PDF, or ePub. For more information, see the documentation . Draft Diff Tool Henrik Levkowetz When looking at updated drafts, you want a diff with the previous draft which ignores changing page layout and moved page headers and footers. Get it here. Add bcp14 markup to XML draft source Joe Touch Run this script in order to add <bcp14> elements around BCP 14 key words (MUST, SHOULD, etc.) in the XML source for an Internet-Draft. Usage: simple-bcp-fix.pl file1.xml > file2.xml Known defect: there may be stray elements in comments, sourcecode, and artwork. Templates for MIB Documents David B.
