The XML root element of Docbook XML files should match the following
format:

<ELEMENT xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
  xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
  xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
  version="5.0"
  xml:id="THE_XML_ID_OF_THE_ELEMENT">

<title>Upload and manage images</title>
<para>A virtual machine image, referred to in this document simply
as an image, is a single file that contains a virtual disk that
has a bootable operating system installed on it. Images are used
to create virtual machine instances within the cloud. For
information about creating image files, see the <link
xlink:href="http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/"
><citetitle>OpenStack Virtual Machine Image
Guide</citetitle></link>.</para>
<para>Depending on your role, you may have permission to upload and
manage virtual machine images. Operators might restrict the upload
and management of images to cloud administrators or operators
only. If you have the appropriate privileges, you can use the
dashboard to upload and manage images in the
<guilabel>admin</guilabel> project.</para>
<note>
<para>You can also use the <command>glance</command> and
<command>nova</command> command-line clients or the Image
Service and Compute APIs to manage images. See <xref
