OOo is one of those that I mentioned doesn't seem to be able to generate formatted plain text with appropriate parameters (in addition to apparently not being able to generate RFC-specific XML). > => nroff is not so bad.

One of the reasons that I haven't used TeX (and things like LaTeX which are layered on it) is the difficulty of getting suitable plain text output. > BTW IMHO the best tool should be so painful that > I-Ds would be very small (:-)? The size of the boilerplate alone precludes that, unfortunately. And it gets worse next month when the secretariat stops accepting "he" (or "she", as the case may be) as an alternative to "he or she" in that boilerplate. > PS: what we need is a rfc2xml. It seems there is a secret rfc2nroff... Going from formatted RFC or draft to troff source is fairly easy. As text will be re-flowed into paragraphs, it's mostly a matter of inserting the right directives between paragraphs, for section headings, etc. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
