1.  Introduction

   This memo is for experimenting with SVG in the context of RFC
   production.

   This document assumes a kramdown-rfc2629 based editing flow.

1.1.  Conventions used in this document

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

2.  Code Layout

   The code is structured as follows:

   ├── Makefile
   ├── art
   │   ├── cdni-delegation.ascii-art
   │   ├── cdni-dns-redirection.ascii-art
   │   ├── e2e-flow.ascii-art
   │   ├── stir-delegation.ascii-art
   │   └── stir-delegation.svg
   └── draft-fossati-svg-test.md

   In particular, the art directory contains the diagrams in ASCII art.

Internet-Draft                  SVG Tests                     March 2020

3.  From ASCII art to SVG

   The Makefile contains bunch of variables and a pattern rule to deal
   with automatic generation of SVG from ASCII using a Golang tool
   called goat.  Another tool, svgcheck, is used to make sure xml2rfc
   will like the SVG.

   # The "art" variables:

   art_src := $(wildcard $(art_dir)/*.ascii-art)
   art_svg := $(art_src:.ascii-art=.svg)

   # The pattern rule used to transform each and every ASCII
   # art into SVG:

   %.svg: %.ascii-art
       @$(goat) $< | $(svgcheck) -r -o $@ 2>/dev/null || true

   To install goat and svgcheck, do:

   $ go get github.com/blampe/goat
   $ pip install svgcheck

4.  Building the XML

   The Submit tool on the Datatracker wants the submitted XML to be self
   contained.

   To inline the diagrams you need to do the following:

   $ kramdown-rfc2629 --v3 \
       draft-fossati-svg-test.md > draft-fossati-svg-test.xml
   $ xml2rfc --v3 --preptool draft-fossati-svg-test.xml
   $ xml2rfc --v3 --expand draft-fossati-svg-test.prepped.xml
   $ mv draft-fossati-svg-test.prepped.exp.xml \
       draft-fossati-svg-test.xml
   $ rm -f draft-fossati-svg-test.prepped.xml

   The "prepped" and "expanded" draft-fossati-svg-test.xml inlines both
   the ASCII and the SVG in the artset and is ready for submission.

   Of course, from there you can also do the usual TXT / HTML
   generation:

Internet-Draft                  SVG Tests                     March 2020

   $ xml2rfc --v3 draft-fossati-svg-test.xml \
       draft-fossati-svg-test.txt
   $ xml2rfc --v3 --html draft-fossati-svg-test.xml \
       draft-fossati-svg-test.html

5.  Examples

5.1.  A Sequence Diagram

   kramdown does not support artset natively.  So the artset must be
   inserted using native xml2rfc syntax.  The SVG is included in artwork
   as a local file.  The SVG file is created from its ASCII art
   equivalent as explained in Section 3.

   <t>
     <figure anchor="fig-endtoend"
             title="End to end STAR delegation flow">
       <artset>
         <artwork type="ascii-art"
                  src="art/e2e-flow.ascii-art" />
         <artwork type="svg"
                  src="art/e2e-flow.svg" />
       </artset>
     </figure>
   </t>

   The result is shown in Figure 1.
