As an aside: I honestly miss the pagination from the plaintext variants of RFCs. I know it's considered a feature in RFCv3, but I do miss it.
(They were done away with in RFC 7990, see section 7.3.)
- Eikon 7y agoThis was really nice when working with colleagues on an rfc “check out page n” instead of “search for this string” as anchors may be sometimes too broad when being specific. What I’d love is some kind of line selection feature where a specific line can be linked to.
- rumanator 7y agoLine number/ paragraph is also an effective reference, specially with section number. Pages sound like forcing a round peg (specificpaper format) into a square hole ( digital docs)
- Eikon 7y agoI never really was fond of this idea. I like pages as they allow me to visually separate content in smaller chunks, even more so than paragraphs alone which I find especially useful when going through very technical documents. I really like PDFs for the same reason while some are saying pages in a digital document makes no sense. To each their own I guess.
- Tomte 7y agoI like to print longer documents, and PDFs are pretty much the best format for that purpose (in practice; in theory other formats could be better). I wish browsers would implement CSS pagination properly.
- outadoc 7y agoYou can always link to a heading in the HTML version. It's not that much different.
- cpach 7y agoFWIW, if you use the PDF version you will get pagination: https://tools.ietf.org/pdf/rfc8700 https://tools.ietf.org/pdf/rfc8700
