+Versioning test text
+====================
+
+So the thing is I need some kind of text - not the lorem ipsum stuff, that
+doesn't work out that well - to test :mod:`sphinx.versioning`. I couldn't find
+a good text for that under public domain so I thought the easiest solution is
+to write one by myself. It's not really interesting, in fact it is *really*
+boring.
+
+Anyway I need more than one paragraph, at least three for the original
+document, I think, and another one for two different ones.
+
+So the previous paragraph was a bit short because I don't want to test this
+only on long paragraphs, I hope it was short enough to cover most stuff.
+Anyway I see this lacks ``some markup`` so I have to add a **little** bit.
+
+Woho another paragraph, if this test fails we really have a problem because
+this means the algorithm itself fails and not the diffing algorithm which is
+pretty much doomed anyway as it probably fails for some kind of language
+respecting certain nodes anyway but we can't work around that anyway.
