Version does not parse if it doesn't start with a number

[gdamore]

I would like document details to have something like this

= My Book Title
My Name
Third Edition, July 4, 2020

Unfortunately the "Third Edition" part is not recognized as a version.

asciidoctor prepends the word "version" if the version looks like numeric X.Y.Z -- maybe just if it starts with a digit I haven't really explored it thoroughly -- but it still parses Third Edition properly as the version.

ok, thanks for reporting this issue @gdamore.
IIRC I only did some testing with figures/numbers, not words such as "Third Edition"

[gdamore]

Well, corrected I stand -- I did some more testing -- and it turns out asciidoctor does not handle non numbers here.

Personally I believe this is a limitation that is easily solved, and we can do better.

Having said that, this is the documented behavior, so I want to kick out of this milestone pending discussion.

ok, sounds good to me. Thanks for the extra investigation @gdamore!
