Building the Specification

The specification is written in kramdown-rfc, which compiles via RFCXML to text and HTML.

You can build the formatted versions or the intermediate RFCXML file using https://author-tools.ietf.org/ or locally by running make. To preserve the intermediate RFCXML form in a local build, touch draft-marchan-kdl2.xml before running make.

Command line usage requires that you have the necessary software installed. See the instructions.
