IETF Author Tools

This service allows you to convert an Internet-Draft from one format into another, including rendered outputs. In the background this service uses id2xml, kramdown-rfc, mmark, rst2rfcxml and xml2rfc, chaining them together as needed to deliver the requested conversion.
The input must be a valid Internet-Draft in one of the following formats:

  • XML as .xml (automatically recognises v3 as defined in RFC 7749)
  • Markdown as .md or .mkd (kramdown-rfc and mmark dialects are supported)
  • reStructuredText (RST) as .rst (Author tools uses rst2rfcxml.)
  • Plain text as .txt

Visit authors.ietf.org for information on how to write an Internet-Draft.
