The command to generate RFC bibtex is convenient, so deliver it to all X students

Overview

--Small story --When writing a dissertation on the Internet, I often cite RFCs. --I would like to introduce a command to quickly generate a bibtex for IETF Draft (RFC).

Subject: rfcbibtex

PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/rfcbibtex/ Github: https://github.com/iluxonchik/rfc-bibtex/

Example of use

You can use it like this. Easy.

~/

$ rfcbibtex RFC8215
@misc{RFC8215,
        series =        {Request for Comments},
        number =        8215,
        howpublished =  {RFC 8215},
        publisher =     {RFC Editor},
        doi =           {10.17487/RFC8215},
        url =           {https://rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8215.txt},
        author =        {Tore Anderson},
        title =         {{Local-Use IPv4/IPv6 Translation Prefix}},
        pagetotal =     7,
        year =          2017,
        month =         aug,
        abstract =      {This document reserves the IPv6 prefix 64:ff9b:1::/48 for local use within domains that enable IPv4/IPv6 translation mechanisms.},
}

You can also refer to a text file in which multiple RFCs you want to generate are written.

rfc.txt

RFC2765
RFC6145
RFC7915

installation It seems that Python 3.x is required.

pip install rfcbibtex
# pip3 install rfcbibtex
