In docbook, it would go something like this:
<para>Blah blah blah...</para>
<para version="2.1.0">In release 2.1.0, Blah blah
blah...</para>
<para>Blah blah blah...</para>
The basic algorithm for processing would be:
if (element.version != NULL && element.version != x)
ignore_element();
which might work okay for generating versions that actually ship
with a release, but for the version on the web server, the
version attribute should just be used to mark the particular
section as being version specific. The latter is probably a
better approach anyway, but the markup can easily facilitate
both.
