That's bad, any way to get such functionality? It's really useful when
writing documentation like this collaboratively.

Agreed, it's part of the guru handbook. Once we have more stuff we can
always rearrange it to be better structured.
Is it possible to have directories in the paths to such documents? I.e.
can this document be located at /grimoire/spell_multi_version? That
would make the structure much more visible imho.

Thanks for writing that page Jeremy, it looks mostly fine. One small
error and one ommission so far, will add those later:
- FORCE_DOWNLOAD=on should only be set if the spell is set to auto
  update, VERSION=$(date +%Y%m%d) should be set both if auto-update is
  wanted or not.
- Only spells where all dependees work with all versions are allowed to
  be multi-versioned, others have to be seperate spells (e.g. apr/apr0).
