RFCRestyle

IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS EXTENSION WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATED. TL;DR: I can't be bothered. The IETF continuously alter their delivery of RFCs (URLs and content), and every time, this extension needs to be altered to account for those changes. Some functionality is already lost/broken and, as time goes on, I expect incremental loss/breakage of functionality until, at some point in the future, it will cease to function entirely. I built the first draft of this extension nearly a decade ago and have updated and improved it many, many times since, but actually hardly ever need it myself. The average approximate user base for years has hovered around 1000, so although that's 1000 people who'll experience minor inconvenience, it's hardly the end of the world. Feel free to take the copyleft open source code and build your own from it, or something.

This extension will be initiated when viewing a selection of ietf.org and rfc-editor.org pages.

Although its primary purpose is to restyle HTML RFCs in accordance with the user's preferences, it will also: • Read HTML RFC pages and, from what it finds, create a Table of Contents (ToC) containing links to all page sections and place it in a fixed position at the top-right corner of the window. It's accessible by click, tap or the accesskey "T". • Unearths a color coded legend present in all HTML RFC pages to make it more accessible by the addition of some new HTML, styling, and scripting. Its accesskey is "L" and can also be accessed with a click or tap. • Optionally (disabled by default) automatically redirect from plain text RFCs to their HTML versions.

The restyling is mostly color oriented but includes: • Optional (enabled by default) hiding of chunks of white space and "page separators" featured as headers and footers when printing the documents.
