Are you in luck.  Marshall Rose has provided us with a lovely little
tool called xml2rfc, which also supports output to HTML.

Subject: RFC authoring tools


Are there any tools which can produce documents in standard RFC format
from high-level markup?

These feature are required:

 - source format is human-readable ASCII (with embedded markup)
 - high-level, non-visual markup
 - libre conversion software to RFC format
 - automatic generation of cross references, bibliographical
   information, and table of contents

Wishlist items are:

 - conversion to nice-looking PDF 
 - conversion to HTML
 - conditional inclusion of pieces, depending on the output format
   (ASCII art for text version, bitmap for HTML etc.)

Whether the tool is based on SGML, XML, (La)TeX or *roff doesn't
really matter to me.
