General Internet Engineering Task Force Insert an abstract - MANDATORY for I-Ds and RFCs. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

The original specification of xml2rfc format is in RFC 2629.

List styles: 'empty', 'symbols', 'letters', 'numbers', 'hanging', 'format'. First bullet Second bullet You can write text here as well.

Figures should not exceed 69 characters wide (v1.30). v1.31 allows you to use the full 72 characters.

Preamble text - can be omitted or empty. Cross-references allowed in pre- and postamble. .

The CDATA means you don't need to escape most special characters but is not essential. Figures may also have a title attribute but it won't be displayed unless there is also an anchor.

By default 3 levels of nesting show in table of contents but that can be adjusted with the value of the "tocdepth" processing instruction.

.. are very similar to figures: Tables use ttcol to define column headers and widths. Every cell then has a "c" element for its content. ttcol #1 ttcol #2 c #1 c #2 c #3 c #4 c #5 c #6 which is a very simple example.

Lists with 'hanging labels': the list item is indented the amount of the hangIndent: With a label shorter than the hangIndent. With a label longer than the hangIndent. Forces the new item to start on a new line. Simulating more than one paragraph in a list item using <vspace>: First, a short item. Second, a longer list item. And something that looks like a separate pararaph.. Simple indented paragraph using the "empty" style: The quick, brown fox jumped over the lazy dog and lived to fool many another hunter in the great wood in the west.

Numbering items continuously although they are in separate <list> elements, maybe in separate sections using the "format" style and a "counter" variable. First list: #1 #2 #3 Specify the indent explicitly so that all the items line up nicely. Second list: #4 #5 #6

List continues here. Third list: #7 #8 #9 #10 The end of the list.

void main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int i; printf("program arguments are:\n"); for (i = 0; i < argc; i++) { printf("%d: \"%s\"\n", i, argv[i]); } exit(0); } /* main */ /* end of file */ ]]>

This template was derive from an initial version written by Pekka Savola and contributed by him to the xml2rfc project.
