ietf-rfc-html-pmb

Render IETF RFCs as HTML, with indentation interpreted.

Stability: experimental

You have been warned. ;-)

API

This module UMD-exports one function:

renderRfcAsHtml(text)

Where text should be a string or buffer with the contents of rfcXXXX.txt.

Setup

1. Download the RFCs you want to render.
   • To mirror all of them, you can use util/update_rfcs_via_rsync.sh.
2. If you want the web demo, try it and adjust webserver paths as needed.

Usage

• API: see src/cli.js
• CLI: nodejs src/cli.js text-only/rfcXXXX.txt
• Web: src/fetch.html

Known issues

• Needs more/better tests and docs.
• Does anyone know an official, license-friendly source for the XML versions of the RFCs? Rendering them might be more reliable than guessing the meaning of whitespace. OTOH, XML parsing is a beast of its own.
