Honestly, I'm not quite sure if this is a TUHS, COFF, or IH question. But since my
background with respect to such things is largely Unix centric, I thought I'd ask in
that context, hence asking on TUHS.
I assume some of the regulars on this list have authored RFCs (of the IETF etc variety).
The RFC format seems fairly well fixed: table of contents, fixed number of lines per page,
page numbers and dates in the footer, and so forth. The format is sufficiently complex
that it seems like some tooling could be usefully employed to aid in producing these
documents.
So I'm curious: what tools did people use to produce those documents? Perhaps
`nroff` with custom macros or something?
