Re: How do I put the project's version number in a hyperlink in the documentation

That version substitution must be a Sphinx feature. It isn't part of
Docutils itself.

As for interpolating the version number into a hyperlink, I don't
think it's possible, sorry. But try on the Sphinx mailing list, maybe
they can help.
