id2xml 1.2.1

Convert text-format RFCs and Internet-Drafts to .xml format

Internet-Draft text to XML Conversion Tool

This tool, ‘id2xml’, is intended for use by the RFC-Editor staff, in order to produce a first xml2rfc-compatible XML version from text-only Internet-Draft submissions.

id2xml may also be useful for Internet-Draft authors who wish to start working on a new version of an older draft or RFC, for which no xml2rfc-compatible XML source is available.

Version 1.0.x can process the drafts specified in the development Statement of Work to XML files acceptable to xml2rfc, and can also process a number of other test files to acceptable XML. Missing is internal <xref/> links to figures and tables.

The XML produced follows RFC 7749 [1] in version 1.x of the tool, and will follow RFC 7991 [2] in version 2.x, which will be released once support is available to process XML sources which follows the RFC 7991 vocabulary.
