[libvirt] [PATCH] docs: Add doc for video element

For backwards compatability, if no <video> is set but there is a <graphics> tag, then we add a default <video> according to the guest type. Add docs to tell the user about this to not make them confused. Especially if they remove the video (such as via "virsh edit"), it will be surprised for them to see the video element is still in domain XML. --- docs/formatdomain.html.in | 7 ++++++- 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/formatdomain.html.in b/docs/formatdomain.html.in index f8baffd..455f4dd 100644 --- a/docs/formatdomain.html.in +++ b/docs/formatdomain.html.in @@ -1868,7 +1868,12 @@ qemu-kvm -net nic,model=? /dev/null <dt><code>video</code></dt> <dd> The <code>video</code> element is the a container for describing - video devices. + video devices.
