Exception: Runaway loop in get_first_page_top()

[Sergio Garcia Murillo]

Describe the issue

When trying to convert a markdown draft to xml in https://author-tools.ietf.org/, I get the following error

id2xml error: Converting 'draft-murillo-whep-03.txt'

draft-murillo-whep-03.txt(92): Exception: Runaway loop in get_first_page_top()
Failure converting draft-murillo-whep-03.txt: Runaway loop in get_first_page_top()

raise RunawayLoop("Runaway loop in %s()" % fn)
id2xml.parser.RunawayLoop: Runaway loop in get_first_page_top()

however I can get the idnits for it without problem. Not sure if it is an issue on the draft itselft, but the error log is not very helpfull for determining it.

@murillo128 author tools rely on the file extension to identify which tool to use.
You must rename your file extension to .md or .mkd.
Because it has .txt file extension, author tools feed the document to id2xml.
