Ability to see charter source

[DavidSchinazi]

Description

I can't seem to find how to get the datatracker to show the raw txt or md for charters. That would be very helpful during rechartering efforts because I could then pass those URLs to rfc-diff. I vaguely recall there used to be the ability to do this, but maybe I'm mistaken. Thanks!

Interestingly, no charter has yet been uploaded explicitly as markdown (though we are rendering the .txt files as if they were markdown).

Until we add a way to easily get the raw source from the datatracker page for a charter, you can get it using either. e.g.,
https://www.ietf.org/charter/charter-ietf-stir-02.txt
or
rsync -a rsync.ietf.org::charter/charter-ietf-stir-02.txt .

The history tab will already build links into rfc-diff for you:

will generate links that look like:
https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url1=https%3A%2F%2Fdatatracker.ietf.org%2Fdoc%2Fcharter-ietf-stir%2Fwithmilestones-01-02.txt&url2=https%3A%2F%2Fdatatracker.ietf.org%2Fdoc%2Fcharter-ietf-stir%2Fwithmilestones-02.txt&difftype=--html

And they will point to the right source file whether it's .md (when we have some) or .txt

Ah, that's exactly what I needed. Thank you! I'll leave the issue open since adding a link to the TXT or MD is still probably useful, but this solves my needs!
