In docbook, it would go something like this: Blah blah blah... In release 2.1.0, Blah blah blah... Blah blah blah... 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. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================
