Write RFCs using wiki-style markup ('markdown') Miek Gieben Pandoc2rfc (see RFC 7328) uses Markdown in combination with Make and XSLT scripting to produce internet-drafts in XML format from plain text input.

Convert nroff for drafts and RFCs to RFC2629 format XML This is a first release of nroff2xml. The tool is able to get nroff source and generate xml based on it. The output XML has well formed sections, paragraphs, and external references. The output can be successfully processed with xml2rfc. The author is not going to develop this further, as it's served its initial purpose in converting the .nroff source for RFC3315 to xml; other people are however very welcome to pick this up and refine it. |
