Examples of the 'XML2RFC' Version 2 and 3 Vocabularies

Abstract

This document gives examples of use of the "XML2RFC" vocabulary. The examples cover both version 2 and version 3. The purposes of this draft it to give authors of Internet Drafts examples of how to use the XML vocabularies, and to show how use of the version 2 vocabulary will change with version 3.

Editorial Note (To be removed by RFC Editor)

Discussion of this draft takes place on the rfc-interest mailing list (rfc-interest@rfc-editor.org), which has its home page at <https://www.rfc-editor.org/mailman/listinfo/rfc-interest>.

Status of This Memo

This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at http://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.

Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as “work in progress”.

1. Introduction

This document gives examples of use of the "XML2RFC" vocabulary. The examples cover both version 2 [XML2RFCv2] and version 3 [XML2RFCv3]. Some of the examples are given to help authors use parts of the vocabulary common to both versions (called "v2" and "v3" in this document), while others appear in order to help authors transitioning from version 2 to version 3 to see how features from the earlier version relate to features in the later version.

This document currently only has one main example, which shows the commonly-used XML elements. A future version of the document may have a more complete example, and will very likely have topic-specific examples (such as lists, tables, and so on).

2. Example of a v2 Document

The following is a v2 document that has all the elements that are needed for typical Internet Drafts.

<t>This is an example of an abstract. It is a short paragraph that

Actually, the reference itself is not all that interesting, but the

of RFC 2119 was done at the top of the XML, while the information
for RFC 6949 is done directly in the references section.</t>
