If you are an Emacs user, especially one who is familiar with/uses Org Mode, I think you'll like this.

I've been working on an org mode exporter for writing RFCs. As it's now in MELPA (package: ox-rfc) I figured it was a good time to announce it's availability. Basically you write your RFC in Org Mode and export it to XML. The back-end supports exporting to XML (for manual xml2rfc), but also supports exporting to text, HTML, or PDF, including directly into a buffer for easy previewing.

Highlights:
- Powerful Org Mode
- Simple Citations/References.
- Lists (Numbered, Unnumbered)
- Definition Lists (term + definition)
- Tables
- Embedded Code (Literate Programming e.g., embed yang model, trees, examples)

In particular YANG embedding is pretty neat. There's no need for separate files and tree generation (and example validation) can be automated from the embedded text.

Check out the README and the examples (currently in the ert-tests directory).

Thanks,
Chris.
