Yes, emacs can definitely do that.

However, nowadays, we would probably rather use a markup language,
like LaTeX or SGML (DocBook, etc), and generate the document in
various formats, text, HTML, PDF, etc.


If you want to edit just a text file like the RFCs, just start with
the text-mode, and use the minor mode auto-fill-mode.
