Alia,

The request is to go from Kramdown to text in one step, no intermediate xml files required.

Cheers,

Andy

There is http://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/experimental.html#kramdown for a method to go from

Kramdown to xml.  No need to install any software.

Jason,

+1 to that, starting with Kramdown as the original source.

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks – I noticed that and think it is useful. Even better IMO is a world where no special local software must be installed on my computer to take what is basically a text document and generate an XML file that can in turn be used to generate an I-D. Either a copy/paste into a form or one button to publish would be cool (and probably make it easier for new contributors).

[JL] It’d be awesome if perhaps the tools team or someone created a sample starting GitHub project with the Note Well and anything else useful and then a WG could just clone that repository when they started up. I looked around quite a bit to see what other WGs were doing on GitHub before I created the IASA2 one and probably got a bunch of stuff wrong. For example, the WG does not expect to have many I-Ds but if we did I might create a drafts folder to contain them all, as I did with the Meetings folder. On the other hand there’s enough variation in WGs that we probably don’t want to over-specify things.

[JL] BTW, don’t get me started on taking something from GitHub to upload a draft on the IETF site. 😉 IMO that’s an area of friction for document authors that should/could be made much easier.

The above includes a means of automating that process.
