--Boundary_(ID_UmEIJPjOxxBC9f123iYASw)
Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

I'm running xml2rfc locally on a Mac OS 10.6 host and I have downloaded the RFC citation library.  The citations are now in a folder, bibxml, in the same directory as my source .xml file AND another copy of bibxml is in the same directory as the xml2rfc executable. 

When I run xml2rfc with an xml input file that contains the following:

    <note title="Requirements Language">
      <t>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 <xref
      target="RFC2119">RFC 2119</xref>.</t>
    </note>

I get 'unable to find external file "reference.RFC.2119.xml" or "reference.RFC.2119.xml.xml"'

How do I let xml2rfc know where the citation file is to be found?  

P.S. This source file converts properly and without error using the online xml2rfc service.

       Thanks in advance for your help,  --Keith

You have to actually include the XML from the reference in your file:

            <?rfc include=3D"reference.RFC.2119.xml"?>

Where the argument after the include=3D is a path name.

> P.S. This source file converts properly and without error using the online

prolly using some smart auto-include stuff (I don't know the specifics).

I use the following Makefile fragment:

xml2rfc=/home/hta/xml2rfc-1.36/xml2rfc.tcl

%.txt: %.xml
         export XML_LIBRARY=references; unset DISPLAY; $(xml2rfc) $<

%.html: %.xml
         export XML_LIBRARY=references; unset DISPLAY; $(xml2rfc) $< $@


The "XML_LIBRARY" envariable is the one that points out where my 
references live.

Hi there,

I just updated rfc2629.xslt 
(<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2629xslt.zip>) to use XSLT2, when 
available. With these changes, the code should continue to run in old 
XSLT1 processors (such as found in browsers), but also in XSLT2 
implementations that do not have the exslt:node-set extension function 
anymore (such as Saxon 9.4 HE).

The change shouldn't cause any problems, but I haven't automated the 
testing of the in-browsers XSLT implementations, so it would be nice if 
"early adopters" help me watch for potential regressions...

Best regards, Julian

Hi everyone,

I have learned that the ITU-T has made a change in the way it prefers
its Recommendations to be displayed.  Was: ITU-T Recommendation XXX
Now: Recommendation ITU-T XXX

Let me demonstrate Old/New:

OLD:

>    [ITU.X509.2000]
>               International Telecommunications Union, "Information
>               technology - Open Systems Interconnection - The Directory:
>               Public-key and attribute certificate frameworks", ITU-T
>               Recommendation X.509, March 2000.
NEW:

   [ITU.X509.2000]
              International Telecommunications Union, "Information
              technology - Open Systems Interconnection - The Directory:
              Public-key and attribute certificate frameworks",
              Recommendation ITU-T X.509, March 2000.


What's the best way to effect this sort of change?

Eliot

Related: can we get a bibxml library for the commonly-references ones? I =

The RFC Document Style guide says:

      Many RFC documents have appendixes, which may be very extensive.
      In non-RFC documents, authors often position Appendixes at the
      very end, after the references.  However, RFCs that have large and
      dense technical Appendix sections make it difficult for a reader
      to find references that precede the appendixes.  In such cases,
      putting the references later may be advisable.

Notwithstanding the final sentence there, xml2rfc enforces putting the
references before any other section in the back matter. I assume that
xml2rfc is simply enforcing the DTD from RFC 2629:

   <!ELEMENT back        (references?,section*)>

However, the DTD seems to be wrong on this point.

I have an I-D in process that will put some back-matter content sections
before the references, so I suppose I'll need to ask the RFC Editor
production team to fix the order after the document is approved by the
IESG (assuming it is, of course!).

If this is a common case, it needs to be fixed in the DTD and the 
implementations.

That being said: one could argue that references can be found best when 
they always are in the same place. (Also when you can hyperlink to them :-)

I am the author of two documents that have gotten nailed by this, and we =
had to put the long appendices after the references because of xml2rfc, =
not because we wanted to.

At this point, "the same place" is "before the appendixes which are =
variable length".

Methinks I'll ask the RFC Editor team to move things around late in the

I'm wondering if it would be possible to add a "periodspace" PI keyword 
so that XML like this

<xref target="RFC3550">Schulzrinne, et al.</xref> lists using multiple 
clock rates

produces text like this

    Schulzrinne, et al. [RFC3550] lists using multiple clock rates

rather than text like this

    Schulzrinne, et al.  [RFC3550] lists using multiple clock rates

(note extraneous space between "et al." and " [RFC3550]".  Should be a 
straightforward clone of the colonspace keyword...

It'd be better to fix it so it never double spaces after a period.

 From the article:

The problem with typewriters was that they used monospaced typeâ€”that is, 
every character occupied an equal amount of horizontal space. This 
bucked a long tradition of proportional typesetting, in which skinny 
characters (like I or 1) were given less space than fat ones (like W or 
M). Monospaced type gives you text that looks "loose" and uneven; 
there's a lot of white space between characters and words, so it's more 
difficult to spot the spaces between sentences immediately. Hence the 
adoption of the two-space ruleâ€”on a typewriter, an extra space after a 
sentence makes text easier to read. Here's the thing, though: Monospaced 
fonts went out in the 1970s. First electric typewriters and then 
computers began to offer people ways to create text using proportional 
fonts. Today nearly every font on your PC is proportional. (Courier is 
the one major exception.) Because we've all switched to modern fonts, 
adding two spaces after a period no longer enhances readability, 
typographers say. It diminishes it.

The text versions of I-Ds & RFCs are, I believe, published in a 
monospaced font so this argument does not seem really relevant for us at 
present.

Indeed,I like the double space after sentence ending periods in
fixed-width fonts.  But I think this should be done by the
author/editor, with double spaces reduced to single spaces when
rendering HTML/PDF/... in non-fixed-width fonts.  Then the OP's
proposal would be moot, which would be a good thing too given that
<periodspace/> is a lot to type and obnoxious to read when all one
wants is a single space following a period!

Something still has to decide how many spaces to use after a period when
the period was at the end of a line and the paragraph has been refilled so
that it no longer is.

As a workaround you may want to try "&nbsp;".

LaTeX recognizes end-of-sentence for a variety of characters, period
being one of them.  It has an "escape" sequence for overriding this
recognition---one writes ".\ " to ensure a single space (i.e., to defeat
the end-of-sentence recognition, instead of ". "

In the XML case, "&nbsp;" can serve the same purpose; if you don't
like/want the double space after a period, you can override it, as Glen
wrote.  This is a general solution to the problem.

In the case of a citation, I actually prefer Joe's solution---citations
_should_ be tightly coupled to the previous word.

Actually, that was what prompted the original question:

"<xref target="RFC3550">Schulzrinne, et al.</xref>"

results in "Schulzrinne, et al.  [RFC3550]", as do

"<xref target="RFC3550">Schulzrinne, et al.&nbsp;</xref>",

"Schulzrinne, et al.<xref target="RFC3550"/>"

and

"Schulzrinne, et al.<xref target="RFC3550"/>".

The "current" (February 28, 2008) version of the
"unofficial successor" of RFC 2629 pointed to from the xml2rfc
home page,
  <http://xml.resource.org/authoring/draft-mrose-writing-rfcs.html>

contains in "Appendix B. The DTD" :

| <!--
|   revised DTD for the RFC document series, draft of 2008-02-01
| -->
...

| <!-- later on, may be (section+,appendix*,section*) -->
| <!ELEMENT middle      (section+)>

...

Notably, the July 22, 2006 version of the same document already said:

| <!--
|   revised DTD for the RFC document series, draft of 2002-01-20
| -->
...

| <!ELEMENT middle      (section+,appendix*,section*)>


Wouldn't that solve the problem of having Appendices before the
References?

However, I personally would suggest that having <section>s after
an <appendix> would likely be confusing, so maybe ...

| <!ELEMENT middle      (section+,appendix*)>

... might be a better choice.


Kind regards,
  Alfred HÎnes.

OK, dunno what's going on.

Getting back on-topic:


<appendix> is deprecated. A <section> becomes an appendix by being below 
<back>.

We could relax the DTD, but I wouldn't want to allow references 
*between* appendices. So a PI that controls placement of the references 
seems easier to me.

Best regards, Julian

X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:15:02 -0000

As mentioned in a previous thread on "postcode city order",
the declaration and rendering of <postal> elements in xml2rfc
is very U.S.-centric and should be improved for international use.
I'd very much appreciate the usage of a postal address format
based on international treaties, not U.S. specifics.

Below, I want to provide a bunch of quickly collected information
regarding this topic.

In Europe and other treaty nations, (nation-wide) postal codes
(a.k.a. delivery codes) and international country designations
(international postal codes, CEPT Codes) are combined (with a
delimiting hyphen in between) and placed in front of the city name,
e.g., as posted by Eliot Lear on 28 Feb 2012, 21:26:03 +0100 :

|  CH-8620 Wallisellen
|  Switzerland

When this preferred form of postal code is used but postal routing
through non-treaty nations with manual interpretation of addresses
(by humans) is not necessary (as is common for postage via air mail),
the spelled-out country name in the additional, trailing line of the
address as shown above is not needed:

|  CH-8620 Wallisellen

is sufficient for international postage.

(Note that, as with E.163 telephone numbers where the "+xx " country
prefix is not part of national dial strings, the postal "xx-" country
designation is usually not included in strictly intra-national postal
usage.)


Important:

The CEPT country identifiers are country designations with a varying
number of (uppercase-only) latin letters, _not_ ISO 3166 country codes.
These postal (CEPT) country identifiers are "borrowed by reference"
(in a similar way as the DNS uses ISO 3166-1 country codes for ccTLD
names) from the list of car country symbols -- a.k.a. international
"Distinguishing Signs" or "UN Vehicle Codes" --, as established by the
United Nation's Convention on Road Traffic
  (Geneva, 19 Sept 1949, Article 20 + Annex 4,  and updated
   Vienna, 8 Nov 1968, Article 37 + Annex 3 -- see
   http://www.iadc-club.net/DK4/iadc/pr2/eng_con.asp )

Hence, for car country identification as well as for postal addresses,
you have for instance the single-character codes:
   A -   Austria
   B -   Belgium
   C -   Cuba
   D -   Germany
   E -   Spain
   F -   France
   H -   Hungary
   I -   Italy
   J -   Japan
   L -   Luxembourg
   N -   Norway
   P -   Portugal
   S -   Sweden
   V -   Holy See (Vatican)
... and the three-character codes:
   EST - Estland
   FIN - Finland
   IRL - Ireland
   RSM - San Marino
   RUS - Russia
   SLO - Slovenia
... while yet other codes are the same as in ISO 3166-1, e.g.:
   CH -  Switzerland
   DK -  Denmark
   FL -  Liechtenstein
   GB -  U.K.
   GR -  Greece
   HR -  Croatia
   IL -  Israel
   IS -  Island
   MC -  Monaco
   NL -  Netherlands
   PL -  Poland
   UA -  Ukraine
... and still others are equal to the ISO 3166-2 3-letter codes.


See the Wikipedia article on car country symbols (in German):
  http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Kfz-Nationalit%C3%A4tszeichen

A comprehensive resource on country code systems is:
  http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/codes/country.htm

For more, in-depth information on postal addressing, refer to the
Universal Postal Union (UPU.INT), e.g. at
  http://www.upu.int/en/activities/addressing/standards.html
(documents do not seem to be "readily available" at large).


Kind regards,
  Alfred.

Is there some way to get xml2rfc to start looking where I want it to for 
an input file?  Right now the initial browsing directory is /home/gwz, 
but I would much prefer that it was something else...
