I  a few RFCs to the ntpd man page.

The code looks like this:
RFC 8915::
  D. Franke and D. Sibold and K. Teichel and M. Dansarie and R. Sundblad
_Network Time Security for the Network Time Protocol_, RFC 8915

That turns into this:
       RFC 8915

            1. Franke and D. Sibold and K. Teichel and M. Dansarie and R.
               Sundblad Network Time Security for the Network Time
Protocol,
               RFC 8915

I assume the "D" is getting interpreted as a command to start a list or
something like that.  How do I get around that?


Backslashes the sort used by Redmondites to seperate path elements. 

Also..
RFC 5907::
  H&#x2e; Gerstung and ...
turns into:
       RFC 5908
           R&#x2e; Gayraud and ...
What's the "&#x2e;" doing?  The web page looks OK.


It is a non list triggering period as an escaped value.

All the RFCs start with "RFC nnnn::" and end with ", RFC nnnn".   That looks redundant to me.  Is there any reason for the extra one at the end


Continuation of the list to another item?
