Warn about unpreferred source code types #423

Closed ioggstream closed 3 months ago

ioggstream commented 9 months ago

I expect

to get warnings when using a sourcecode type not listed in https://www.rfc-editor.org/materials/sourcecode-types.txt

Notes

where is the best place to put this check?

where is the best place to put this check?

one of two places, neither of them here :)

kramdown-rfc if you are using that tool.
xml2rfc

The reason you would only want to warn is that the list of allowed types might need to change faster than whatever tool can. Both tools are well maintained, but things can move quickly.
