alternative RFC formats

[ghost]

Hi everyone.

I was accessing and reading this link here: choosing-a-format-and-tools

Note
"The following authoring formats are in use by the IETF community, though some by only a handful of people: RFCXML, Markdown, Other markup languages, Plain text, Word processors(MS Word with RFC 5385 template and tool, MS Word with RFC Tool or xml2docx)"

I wonder if you've all thought about using jekyll, hugo-book or tiddlywiki to document RFC.

This is not a request for a resource, but a question that I am curious about. The reason for this question is that tiddlywiki works offline and has a lot of text formatting features. Also, it is a single html document. This can help in creating, maintaining, developing RFC files. But there are formats like "hugo-book" and "just-the-docs" that are visually interesting too.

I think you may have misunderstood the process here. RFCs begin life by people writing an Internet-Draft and there are no rules about what formats people can choose to author an Internet-Draft in, but it must be possible to convert that format into either RFCXML or the a highly structured plain text document. The list you have quoted above is the list of formats that people choose to author Internet-Drafts in. If you or anyone else wanted to use one of those tools you suggest then there is nothing to stop them.
