RFCのbibtexを生成するコマンドが便利なので全てのX論生に届け

概要

• 小ネタ
• インターネットな論文を書くとき，ちょくちょくRFCを引用する．
• IETF Draft(RFC)のbibtexをささっと生成するコマンドがあるから紹介したい

本題: rfcbibtex

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

使用例

こんな感じで使える．簡単．

~/

$ 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.},
}

installation

Python 3.xが必要だそうです．

pip install rfcbibtex
# pip3 install rfcbibtex 

追記

最近(2024年頃)のMacでは，パッケージををするのに「venvを使え！！！」って怒ってくるようになりました．
この1コマンドごときのためにvenvを使うのは癪なので，Dockerから使うようにしましょう
