A Minimal Internet-Draft In AsciiRFC
draft-asciirfc-minimal-02

Abstract

This document provides a template on how to author (or migrate!) a new Internet-Draft / RFC in the AsciiRFC format.

This template requires usage of the asciidoctor-rfc Ruby gem.

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 https://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."

This Internet-Draft will expire on October 14, 2018.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

AsciiRFC [I-D.ribose-asciirfc] is an extremely simple way to author Internet-Drafts and RFCs without needing to manually craft RFC XML conforming to [RFC7991].

This is a template specifically made for authors to easily start with creating an Internet-Draft conforming to [RFC7991] and submittable to the IETF datatracker.

2. Terms and Definitions

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

This document also refers to the following terms and definitions:

AsciiRFC

an AsciiDoc-derived syntax used for authoring RFCs and Internet-Drafts, as defined in [I-D.ribose-asciirfc].

3. Symbols And Abbreviations

ADRFC

abbreviated form of AsciiRFC

4. Main content

This is where you place the main content, and the following serves as a placeholder for your text.

Subsections are used here for demonstration purposes.

4.1. Getting started

The AsciiRFC and RFC toolchains MUST be available locally to build this document template.

4.1.1. AsciiRFC toolchain

You will need to have:

4.1.2. XML RFC toolchain

You will need to have:

4.2. Referencing external content

4.3. Code snippets

Code snippets should be wrapped with <CODE BEGINS> and <CODE ENDS> blocks, as required by the IETF Trust Legal Provisions (TLP) [IETF.TLP] specified in [RFC5378].

5. Security Considerations

Any security considerations should be placed here.

As described in Section 4 (here’s how you refer a local anchor), local tools have to be installed before the document template can be built.

Running of these local tools MAY produce unintended side effects that impact security.

6. IANA Considerations

This document does not require any action by IANA.

But if it does, such as proposing changes to IANA registries, please include them here.
