Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Markus Armbruster 2015-08-05 11:18:03 UTC
Description of problem:
In qemu-options.hx, the option table's @end table isn't at the end.  The options preceding get rendered correctly as <dl>.  The options after it get rendered incorrectly.  In my Firefox, this looks like

‘-nodefconfig’

    Normally QEMU loads a configuration file from sysconfdir/qemu.conf and sysconfdir/target-ARCH.conf on startup. The -nodefconfig option will prevent QEMU from loading these configuration files at startup. 

-readconfig file

Read device configuration from file. This approach is useful when you want to spawn QEMU process with many command line options but you don’t want to exceed the command line character limit. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Observed in 6.7, but I believe it goes all the way back to 6.0.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Examine /usr/share/doc/qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2/qemu-doc.html

Actual results:
-nodefconfig and -readconfig are rendered differently.

Expected results:
-readconfig is rendered like -nodefconfig.

Additional info:
Fixed upstream in commit 3dbf2c7.  We should've backported it along with commit 
ed24cfa, but we committed an independent rewrite instead (commit 3dd83c0), and missed the fix.

layout format of -nodefconfig and -readconfig:
<dt> &lsquo;<samp>-nodefconfig</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
</dl>

layout format of -nodefconfig and -readconfig:
<dt> &lsquo;<samp>-nodefconfig</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
