Any tips on 1) how to do inline boldface and 2) what to do with ASCIIart illustrations that are too wide for the page?
Even though there's more work the first time, your life will be a lot easier if you write them in xml2rfc, since that's what's going to be the canonical format in the future. Specific answers: 1) use <spanx>very important</spanx> which won't do anything in the current line printer image format*, but will emphasize the text in HTML and other output. 2) Reformat it so it fits in 72 columns. Really. If you don't, someone else will have to. In the future you'll be able to use SVG to do real line art. R's, John * - don't even think about backspacing and overprinting
