Hello, I created an update to rfcstrip in Github. Revision 1.1balazs - 2020-03-26 added -a option. If it is specified, the file must be an XML2RFC XML file. All artworks will be extracted from it if they carry a name attribute. Artwork unfolding will also be executed. If the artwork contains the , <CODE BEGIN/END> markers they are removed.

Hello Kent, OK, as you are strongly opposed to it, I will remove <CODE BEGINS> <CODE ENDS> in the next version. That said, I do not really agree with you. If interested see, below. Regards Balazs -----Original Message----- From: netmod <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Kent Watsen Sent: 2020. március 25., szerda 18:25 To: Balázs Lengyel <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [netmod] Where can I use <CODE BEGINS> <CODE ENDS> ? Balazs, While possible to use the markers for instance examples... - they’ve never been used before, AFIAK (historical context) BALAZS: S0 I am a revolutionary :-) As I understand validation of examples have always been an issue, so making that more simple by automating extraction would be a step in the good direction. - they're unneeded, as examples don’t contain copyright (per Lada’s comment) BALAZS: I agree that copyright is a non-issue for these examples. However <CODE BEGINS> is needed for another reason: easy extraction, which would make checking the data simpler. - they're disallowed by RFC 8407 for example modules (per Benoit comment) BALAZS: strictly speaking that is about YANG examples not instance data examples. I also don't know/understand the reasoning behind it. A separate example tag would be nice, but we don't have one. - as a contributor, I don’t wish to birth a new convention of using the markers for examples. In order to support programmatic extraction of examples from drafts, please just set the “name” attribute on the <sourcecode> or <artwork> element in the XML draft. BALAZS: As far as I understand sourcecode is only available in XML2RFC v3. Name is not handled by rfcstrip or xym. (I don't have time to update the tools right now.) It would be nice to have an update to rfcstrip that checks every <artwork> and if it has a name attribute, it extracts the content into a file called "name". 2.48.2. "name" Attribute A filename suitable for the contents (such as for extraction to a local file). This attribute can be helpful for other kinds of tools (such as automated syntax checkers, which work by extracting the source code). Note that the "name" attribute does not need to be unique for <artwork> elements in a document. If multiple <sourcecode> elements have the same "name" attribute, a formatter might assume that the elements are all fragments of a single file, and such a formatter can collect those fragments for later processing.
