Cluebat welcome.
The answer to this question isn’t quite as clear-cut as it could; we don’t have an “rfcxml-authors” list, but typically these questions come up on the xml2rfc mailing list (or rfc-interest, or tools-discuss…).
Is it possible to insert a line break in the contents of a list?
<ol>
<li>
bunch of hooey
<line break>
more hoo-ah
</li>
Everything that I have tried results in errors from xml2rfc.
First of all, I’m assuming you are using xml2rfc with --v3 flags (<ol/<li is new syntax for v3). Even though there is older documentation that is supposedly more authoritative, the RFCXMLv3 we actually use is described in https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/xml2rfc-doc.html
https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/xml2rfc-doc.html#name-br-2
describes the <br element, which can do exactly what you want, and is in the content model for <li.
So the example becomes:
<ol>
<li>
bunch of hooey
<br/>
more hoo-ah
</li>
Grüße, Carsten
Or, if you actually want a list item containing two paragraphs:
<ol>
<li>
<t>bunch of hooey</t>
<t>more hoo-ah</t>
</li>
</ol>
