Description
The html reports have xhtml doctype and a xhtml+xml content type, but the file is not valid xml. The reason is the < operator in the javascript code.
I suggest changing to a HMTL 5 doctype tag.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
...
Running the report through the w3c html validator (https://validator.w3.org/) also reports some other errors.

Research direction
Start by locating the HTML report generator or template and inspect the JavaScript containing the < operator. Run a generated report through the W3C HTML validator and review the reported errors. Done means the report's doctype and content type match its actual format, with the noted validation problems addressed.
