Is it really that hard? Even crusty old idiots like me have worked out how to use an editor to make XML that is acceptable to XML2RFC. I doubt that I am clever or more talented than Fellows of major engineering organizations. All tools (even github) require to be learned. Replace tools with better tools, by all means. But don’t make changes for personal preference: that way lies unending debates about whose preference is best. Thanks, Adrian From: ietf <ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Richard Barnes I'm glad it works for you. The non-IETF-habituated new authors I've worked with have found it mystifying. Including everyone from junior engineers to Fellows of major engineering organizations. As Christian says, our continued attachment to bespoke tools is a barrier to getting new work in the IETF, and thus detrimental to the long-term health of the organization. --RLB On Wed, Jul 10, 2019 at 9:47 AM Randy Bush <randy@xxxxxxx> wrote:
