I would suggest to give NroffEdit (a Java program) a try in such a situation (which is also listed on http://tools.ietf.org/, direct link would be http://aaa-sec.com/nroffedit/) With NroffEdit you can convert a plain .txt I-D back into editable nroff-source in little time (it took me ~30 minutes). -Martin _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
