How are the ascii diagrams in RFC's generated?
ascii, ascii-art, networking, rfc
Solution
I believe that Emacs picture-mode, table-mode (`M-x table-insert` or `M-x table-recognize`) and possibly another modes simplify ASCII editing.
Also read about proposal to use PDF formats for RFC:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ash-alt-formats-02
Problem
Not sure if this is the correct stackexchange to ask this question, but I was wondering whether anyone knows if the ascii diagrams in http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5755.txt page 6 are handcrafted or generated using a program that takes the nodes and transitions as input. If they are generated, does anyone know which program? Directly searches on Google do not turn up anything relevant.
