Inspired by paulej/rfctools, this repository builds a docker image with tools for creating Internet Drafts based on kramdown-rfc and xml2rfc.
This is intended for running RFC Tools in a CI/CI pipeline. You can get the
pre-built image from Docker Hub by pulling the samjakob/rfctools
container,
or you can build it manually using the Dockerfile in this repository.
You can simply execute the container with docker run
. The command below maps
the current working directory into /rfc
in the container (which is the
default working directory), then calls the mkd2rfc
script on the specified
Kramdown file.
docker run -v $(pwd):/rfc -w /rfc docker.io/samjakob/rfctools mkd2rfc my_file.mkd
