<h3>Upload screen</h3>
<p>
The Upload screen is the first screen that a user will see when he or she starts the I-D submission process. A user can submit four different formats of an I-D, plain text, XML, PDF, and postscript, at the same time. Failure to submit at least one of a plain-text or xml version will cause an error, and an error screen will be displayed.

Either a plain-text document or a valid .xml file which can be processed by the xml2rfc
processor <b>must</b> be provided.
The best way to submit an Internet-Draft is to provide a single v3 .xml source file.
The datatracker will generate the .txt and other formats from that file.
<br/>
For v3 .xml sources which include external files, this requires them to be run through xml2rfc with
the <tt>--expand</tt> option, to produce a completely expanded (standalone) .xml source file for
upload.
Source v3 .xml which include external files must be preprocessed through xml2rfc with
the <tt>--expand</tt> option, to produce a completely expanded (standalone) .xml source
file for upload.
<br/>
If no .txt file is provided, one will be generated from the .xml file.
The <a href="{{settings.XML2RFC_BASE_URL}}">online conversion tool</a> can be used to
convert v2 .xml documents to v3.
<br/>
A single v3 .xml source is preferred. A single v2 .xml source will be accepted. If
neither of those are available, a plain-text document may be provided. One of these
three options <b>must</b> be provided.
<br/>
Other file types are optional.
