Writing I-Ds and RFCs Using Pandoc and a Bit of XML
RFC 7328, “Writing I-Ds and RFCs Using Pandoc and a Bit of XML”, is an Informational document published in August 2014 by R. Gieben. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document presents a technique for using a Markdown syntax variant, called Pandoc, and a bit of XML (as defined in RFC 2629) as a source format for documents that are Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) or RFCs.
The goal of this technique (which is called Pandoc2rfc) is to let an author of an I-D focus on the main body of text without being distracted too much by XML tags; however, it does not alleviate the need to typeset some files in XML.
What “Informational” means
