Description

Before publishing, the RPC creates the rfcNNNN.notprepped.xml file and then creates the prepped and final XML file from that (See https://github.com/rfc-editor/editorial-tools/blob/main/makefinal). There should be a DF tool that creates the following:

  • the nonprepped XML file
  • the prepped XML file from the nonprepped XML file
  • the final outputs, including the PDF file that has the XML file attached, from the prepped XML file
