Cascading Style Sheets Requirements for RFCs

Overview

RFC 7993, “Cascading Style Sheets Requirements for RFCs”, is an Informational document published in December 2016 by H. Flanagan. It has since been updated by RFC 9920. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The HTML format for RFCs assigns style guidance to a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) specifically defined for the RFC Series. The embedded, default CSS as included by the RFC Editor is expected to take into account accessibility needs and to be built along a responsive design model. This document describes the requirements for the default CSS used by the RFC Editor. The class names are based on the classes defined in "HTML for RFCs" (RFC 7992).

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.
