 =====Guacamole=====
-==Introduction==
+===== Introduction =====
 Guacamole is remote desktop software, which allows any client to connect to it with only a HTML5 browser. No plugins, client software or any other headaches required!

+===== Set up a webinar demo machine =====
 These brief instructions show how to set up Guacamole on a remote server, so that it can be used as a demo machine, controllable and viewable by anyone with a web browser. I use this to perform remote demonstrations of web-based software. The instructions assume that a Debian Jessie system is used, with Apache already installed.

 It should now be possible to browse to the site configured in Apache, login to Guacamole, and see a standard XFCE desktop. Chromium (or Iceweasal/Firefox) can be launched from the applications menu.
-==Enabling Apache Portable Runtime (APR)==
+===== Enabling Apache Portable Runtime (APR) =====
 I don't know how much difference it makes (or whether it makes any difference in this environment), but APR is recommended for Tomcat to "provide superior scalability, performance, and better integration with native server technologies". It can be enabled by uncommenting the following section in /etc/tomcat8/server.xml:
-  <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" SSLEngine="on" />
+<html><Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" SSLEngine="on" /></html>
 And installing libtcnative-1:
