Fixed in kramdown-rfc version 1.7.3.  As usual, update

  gem update kramdown-rfc

(using any options you used for initially installing kramdown-rfc).

Then you can 

  kramdown-rfc-extract-sourcecode -tfiles rfc4711.xml

and will find the svg files under

  sourcecode/svg

If you have a workable (and non-brittle) idea how to name the SVG files, please tell me (*).

                      .oOo.

Back to on-topic content:

This is really one of the many examples where RFCs include “attachments”, and we should make it easier to get at them.

Grüße, Carsten


(*) RFCs in publication format have an attribute “slugifiedName” (apparently undocumented at https://authors.ietf.org/rfcxml-vocabulary) on an ancestor of that <svg element, but that only is available after prepping, so it is not useful for I-Ds which are in authoring format.
