Our website is written assuming HTML5 standard & doctype: commit b1c81567c7172bc9dcd701cf46ea3f87725d62c7 Author: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Wed Jul 26 18:01:25 2017 +0100 docs: switch to using HTML5 doctype declaration so we want the RST conversion to also use HTML5. Ubuntu 16.04 still only has the HTML4 generating tools though, so we have that as a fallback. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
