The pcap and pcapng specifications are written using the kramdown superset of Markdown and the kramdown-rfc2629 extensions to kramdown. This allows xml2rfc-format RFCs and I-Ds to be written in extended Markdown and converted to xml2rfc. Xml2rfc was originally defined in RFC 2629; version 2 is documented in RFC 7749, and version 3 is documented in RFC 7991.
