-            The attributes *version* and *release* both contain the version of the manual
-            and mostly correspond to the version of the TYPO3 LTS or TYPO3 extension to

-
-            The version is shown below the title in the theme's release switch and in the

+            document and output this value using :rst:`|release|` within
+            your text if you desire to. Usually it is not used.
