Metanorma AsciiRFC sample: The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch

To check out Metanorma capabilities for IETF, take a look at the The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch sample Metanorma project written in Metanorma for IETF/RFCs.

Obtain sample source for the document(s) here, and see the rendered form here.

You can use the sample as a starting point for authoring your own IETF documents with Metanorma. Refer to the repository for an overview of how the source is structured.

Working with the sample

Requirements

You will need Ruby, xml2rfc and idnits (for submission preflight) installed.

On macOS:

brew install idnits
brew install python
easy_install pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
gem install bundler
bundle install

Building

make all

Alternatively:

export ID_NAME=camelot-holy-grenade
make draft-${ID_NAME}.txt

Validating with idnits

idnits is the tool for checking RFCs prior to submission.

export ID_NAME=camelot-holy-grenade
make draft-${ID_NAME}.nits

Note	The Makefile target infers the document name from the :name: document attribute and puts the file in the right place before calling idnits to prevent it complaining about the location.

Iterating on your document

export ID_NAME=camelot-holy-grenade
make clean all; open draft-${ID_NAME}.txt
