To generate the RFC format we need xml2rfc. It can be installed using:

$ pip install xml2rfc

For details on .xml structure check this link.

To generate the output files we can use:

$ make publish

For more control on what is happening, authors can also user:

$ xml2rfc --html --text --raw draft-brezorubio-wg-oblivion-00.xml

This will automatically generate the following files:

• draft-brezorubio-wg-oblivion-00.html. A HTML version of the file.
• draft-brezorubio-wg-oblivion-00.txt. An RFC-formatted and paginated text file.
• draft-brezorubio-wg-oblivion-00.raw.txt. A text file without the pagination.

Note that to create a PDF we can use enscript to generate the PS file first and ps2pdf to build the PDF:

$ sudo apt install enscript -y
…
$ enscript -p draft-brezorubio-wg-oblivion-00.ps draft-brezorubio-wg-oblivion-00.txt
$ ps2pdf draft-brezorubio-wg-oblivion-00.ps draft-brezorubio-wg-oblivion-00.pdf
