Hi Alanna, other RFC editors--
I just wanted to note that
https://github.com/ietf-tools/xml2rfc/pull/1261 has been merged into
xml2rfc's main branch, though it is not part of any formal release yet
(3.29.0 is the latest release, which does not yet include the patch in
question).
If a version of xml2rfc is released including this change, then the
transformation to all BOX DRAWING characters should be sufficient to
fix the misalignment problems we were seeing with the MIME tree
renderings in the PDF variant of RFC-to-be 9787.
I'll be sending you a message latter today following up about RFC-to-be
9788, which has *not* yet had the all-BOX-DRAWING change applied to it.
Again, if y'all think that is the right thing to do for 9788, i can
follow up with such a change there too. Just let me know!
Regards,
--dkg
