Daniel P. Berrange f2f9742d4d Fix multiple formatting problems in HTML docs
The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.

This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

<h1>VMware Workstation / Player hypervisors driver</h1>
<p>
The libvirt VMware Workstation driver should be able to manage any Workstation and
Player version supported by the VMware VIX API. See the compatibility list
<a href="http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/vix110_reference/">here</a>.
</p>
<p>
This driver uses the "vmrun" utility which is distributed with the VMware VIX API.
You can download the VIX API
from <a href="http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/">here</a>.

<h2>Connections to VMware driver</h2>
<p>
The libvirt VMware driver provides per-user drivers (the "session" instance).
Two uris are available:
</p>
<ul>
<li>"vmwareplayer" for VMware Player</li>
<li>"vmwarews" for VMware Workstation</li>
</ul>
<p>
Some example connection URIs for the driver are:
</p>
<pre>
vmwareplayer:///session (local access to VMware Player per-user instance)
vmwarews:///session (local access to VMware Workstation per-user instance)
vmwarews+tcp://user@example.com/session (remote access to VMware Workstation, SASl/Kerberos)
vmwarews+ssh://user@example.com/session (remote access to VMware Workstation, SSH tunnelled)
</pre>
