# kramdown-rfc2629(1)

tool to generate XML2RFC XML from Markdown

Part of [kramdown-rfc(1)](/kramdown-rfc/1.md).

## NAME

**kramdown-rfc** - tool to generate XML2RFC XML from Markdown

## SYNOPSIS

**kramdown-rfc** \[*mydraft.mkd*\]

## DESCRIPTION

[**kramdown**(1)](/kramdown/1.md) is a markdown parser by Thomas Leitner, which has a number of backends for generating HTML, Latex, and markdown again.

**kramdown-rfc** is an additional backend to that: it allows the generation of XML2RFC XML markup (also known as RFC 2629, RFC 7449, or RFC 7991 compliant markup), designed as a source format for documents in the Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) and Request for Comments (RFC) series, to be processed by the **xml2rfc** utility.

If no file specified, STDIN will be used. If you are typing input, you can send an EOF by pressing ^D.

## EXAMPLE

 **kramdown-rfc** *mydraft.mkd* \> *mydraft.xml*\
  **xml2rfc** *mydraft.xml*
