 Like Stewart says, learning Kramdown is very easy. And
https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/experimental.html really simplifies the
toolchain as well - just use the topmost blue box to choose your input
file, and then select "kramdown" rather than "xm2rfc". This will directly
convert your Kramdown source to text, HTML, or PDF without an XML
intermediate step. You can have the result in a frame (for debugging your
file) or saved to a file.

Cheers,
Andy
