The IESG has received a request from the Network Modeling WG (netmod) to consider the following document: - 'Handling Long Lines in Inclusions in Internet-Drafts and RFCs' <draft-ietf-netmod-artwork-folding-07.txt> as Best Current Practice
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2019-08-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines two strategies for handling long lines in width-bounded text content. One strategy is based on the historic use of a single backslash ('\') character to indicate where line- folding has occurred, with the continuation occurring with the first non-space (' ') character on the next line. The second strategy extends the first strategy by adding a second backslash character to identify where the continuation begins and thereby able to handle cases not supported by the first strategy. Both strategies use a self-describing header enabling automated reconstitution of the original content. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netmod-artwork-folding/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netmod-artwork-folding/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
