Hi Jean,

Thanks for the report. I think the usage is described but is a little subtle. If I'm not mistaken the idea with this implicit button is to create an "Occur-like" buffer based on the contents of the RFC. From that occur-buffer it is possible to jump directly to each section in the RFC. The button can be activated from any line in the RFC.

I understand that the description can be improved. What seems worse is that I can't get it to work like I have described above. So there seems to be a bug here. With this working maybe the description would make more sense if you see the result of an invocation. 

%% Mats
