Version Label Attribute
The version-label
attribute controls the version label displayed before the revision number in the byline.
Change the version label in the byline
By default, version-label
is assigned the value Version
.
This label can be changed by setting version-label
and assigning it a new value in the document header.
Example 1. Assign a new label to version-label
= The Intrepid Chronicles
Kismet Lee
v3: An icy winter incarnation
:version-label: Edition
The result of Example 1 is displayed below.

Notice that when revnumber
is implicitly set using the revision line, any preceding letters are still removed even though version-label
is explicitly assigned a value.
Unset the version label
You can remove the default version label from the byline by unsetting the version-label
attribute.
In an attribute entry, add a bang (!
) to the attribute’s name.
Example 2. Unset version-label
= The Intrepid Chronicles
Kismet Lee
v3: An icy winter incarnation
:!version-label:
The result of Example 2 is displayed below.
