Dear all,

this topic has been discussed before, but I'd like to raise it once again.

The current default datatracker RFC template has a bug for many of our RFCs.
Draft versions of the same documents render the table of contents in html but only plaintext in the RFC.
The problem applies to ALL RFCs after RFC 8650 in CoRE WG. For example:

RD RFC with plaintext TOC:https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9176
RD draft with HTML TOC:https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-core-resource-directory-28

I have been told that the plaintext format for RFCs has changed and they are no longer paginated (why??) and therefore there are no page numbers in the TOC.

I see this as a bug, as many users still prefer the "htmlized" version over the new html RFC format and makes it pretty much unusable without pagination.
Could this please be fixed to how it was before the update?


Ciao!
