Tl;dr: kramdown is supported experimentally on xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org

For a while now, we’ve had an experimental page up at xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/experimental.html that includes a new kramdown option to generate internet drafts. On it, you can upload a kramdown markdown file to the server, it will convert to xml as an intermediate stage, then convert to the internet draft. It uses Carsten Borman’s kramdown-rfc2629 tools to do its work. There’s a separate web form that just runs kramdown and returns the XML.

It’s currently using kramdown-rfc2629 version 1.0.37 – I didn’t think it would be wise to upgrade to the newly-released 1.0.38 on RFC drop dead day.

Feedback is welcome.
