The rfc-mode Emacs major mode is a browser and reader for RFC documents.
The package should be installed from MELPA.
Start by loading the mode:
(require 'rfc-mode)
Then set the location containing all RFC documents (the default value is the
rfc
directory in the home directory):
(setq rfc-mode-directory (expand-file-name "~/rfc/"))
RFC documents and their index will be directly downloaded from https://www.rfc-editor.org when required. Alternatively, the entire RFC collection can be downloadeded from https://www.rfc-editor.org/retrieve/bulk to ensure full access without the need for an internet connection.
Call rfc-mode-browse
to choose a RFC document to read, or rfc-mode-read
to
enter the reference of the RFC document yourself.
