I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “tag”.
funcname(args) [new in 3.2] [deprecated in 3.5] Func description here.
I mean some kind of tag/label next to the name of the function in the documentation (red/orange for deprecations, green for new-in) -- it's not a Sphinx-specific term. I saw it in some other documentation but I can't find it anymore, however if you look at the [task] and [assigned] tags/labels at the top of https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/5000 you can get a pretty close idea of what I'm thinking about.
Are you saying that the source documentation would remain as-is, but something during the Sphinx _transformation_ would generate the new/deprecated tags?
That's the idea. Ideally the func/meth/class directives [0] would add the tags/labels if they contain version-added/version-changed/deprecated/deprecated-remove directives. [0]: directives look like ".. function:: foo(args)", whereas roles look like :func:`foo`. Functions are defined using directives. In the previous message I mistakenly said "roles".
