When I try this I get a couple of error messages:

- Found no end tag for 'figure' (line 575) - auto-closing it
- Found invalidly used HTML closing tag for 'figure' on line 581

…and a different (similarly broken) XML output, too; I’d probably need the whole document to reproduce this.

Clearly, something isn’t working the way we want it to with the XML (HTML) parsing in kramdown here (kramdown is the markdown engine on which kramdown-rfc was built).

Of course, the fix is to just write:

~~~
+------------------------------+
| Use markdown, be Happier :-) |
|______________________________|
~~~
{: #xml_happy}

But you probably had a reason why you wanted to put in your XML manually…

The mailing list to discuss this further is rfc-markdown@ietf.org (or maybe a GitHub issue on https://rfc.space).

Grüße, Carsten
