Bibtex Citation Converter
Yaron Sheffer
This tools converts bibtex-formatted citations into the bibxml format used in

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.

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.

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.

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.

|
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.

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. Harrington
The MIB Doctors have produced three templates specifically aimed at
drafts containing MIB modules:
• The first is an
XML template for editors that use XML2RFC.
Some advice echoing guidelines from RFC4181 is embedded in comments.
• A second template is a
text template for MIB documents with advice embedded in the document.
• A third template is a
plain text template with no advice included.

Access IETF-related files from the command line
Paul Hoffman
The "ietf" program lets you access IETF-related files from the command
line. It creates a local copy of these files on your computer using
rsync, and gives a friendly way to access them. You can give commands
from your normal shell, or you can run an interactive shell that is
part of the program.

(https://www.ietf.org/id/foo-42.txt) to the Tools

Print an Internet Draft (ID) or RFC as PDF.
Warren Kumari
Because of the difference between the number of lines on laser
printers and line / dot-matrix printers, each "page" of the draft
actually takes up 2 pages and you end up with lots of pages with just
a one line footer.
This script tries to fix that by downloading the draft, converting it
to a PDF and then printing it.

WG Issue Trackers
Henrik Levkowetz
All IETF Working Groups have issue trackers set up to facilitate
tracking of document issues.
The wiki for each WG is at https://trac.ietf.org/trac/<ACRONYM>, and you can see
tickets at https://trac.ietf.org/trac/<ACRONYM>/report/1. The issue tracker
is automatically updated with ticket (issue) component names matching the
WG drafts. New tickets can be added (login with your datatracker login
is needed) at https://trac.ietf.org/trac/<ACRONYM>/newticket.
The WG page in the datatracker has link
to the group wiki and issue tracker under the 'About' tab.

Some IETF Working Groups have subversion repositories set up, to facilitate
cooperative editing and change tracking. To find the repository of a WG,
please go to the WG status page and follow the link which says
'Svn' in the top horizontal menubar. If there is no such link,
the WG doesn't have a registered issue tracker. In order to check out
a document from the repository, find the svn url to it, then use:
svn co <document-url>

Email aliases to draft authors and chairs
Henrik Levkowetz
ietf.org provides email aliases to WG chairs
and draft authors, to make it easier to reach them
without having the individual addresses available.
To reach the authors of a draft, send an email to:
<DRAFTNAME>@ietf.org
[See the complete draft alias file]
In a similar manner, to reach a WG's Chairs or ADs, send an email to:
<WG>-chairs@ietf.org or
<WG>-ads@ietf.org, respecitvely.
On each WG page in the datatracker, there's a tab that shows the
list of aliases for that WG; see for example
the complete DHC WG alias list]

Validate the signature for an Internet-Draft
Russ Housley
RFC 5485 specifies a mechanism to provide a cryptographic signature
for valid internet drafts. The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) is
used to create a detached signature, which is stored in a separate
companion file so that no existing utilities are impacted by the
addition of the digital signature. This scripts provides a way to
verify these signatures.

This Regular Expression-Based ABNF Extractor will read
the given input and output the ABNF that is found
therein. The ABNF must conform to RFC 2234,

The program accepts XML (xml2rfc v2 and v3) and plain text
(traditional RFC format ca. 2016) input formats. Optionally,
the program can emit location (line number, page, anchor)
and caption information in ABNF comments.
