Internet-Draft text to XML Conversion Tool

This tool, 'id2xml', is intended for use by the RFC-Editor staff, in order to produce a first xml2rfc-compatible XML version from text-only Internet-Draft submissions.

id2xml may also be useful for Internet-Draft authors who wish to start working on a new version of an older draft or RFC, for which no xml2rfc-compatible XML source is available.

Version 1.x can process the drafts specified in the development Statement of Work to XML files acceptable to xml2rfc, and can also process a number of other test files to acceptable XML. Missing is internal <xref/> links to figures and tables.

The default XML produced follows RFC 7749 [1] in version 1.x of the tool. With version 1.3.0 of the tool, output according to RFC 7991 [2] is available by use of the '-3' switch.
