Here are your options, as I see it. 1. The simplest way, if it works, would be to define a section node containing the version. Each file would reference this node using cross-file clones. I'm not sure why this wouldn't work. Have you tried it? Feel free to ask questions if this precis isn't clear to you. 2. Next, I would consider writing a script. It would traverse your outline, looking for a (regex) pattern. If found, it would substitute the version directly into each file, while retaining the original pattern for future use. Clear? 3.The valuespace plugin might work. I don't know. 4. Don't bother requesting changes to Leo's code to support this. It won't happen. All comments and further questions are welcome.
