RFC 7992: HTML Format for RFCs

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 9920. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

In order to meet the evolving needs of the Internet community, the canonical format for RFCs is changing from a plain-text, ASCII-only format to an XML format that will, in turn, be rendered into several publication formats. This document defines the HTML format that will be rendered for an RFC or Internet-Draft.
