+<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk comes with integrated support for
+<a href="https://github.com/kerl/kerl">Kerl</a>, a shell script that
+automates the downloading, building and installing of
+Erlang/OTP. It can be used to easily build a specific
+Erlang/OTP version (with or without custom build options)
+or maintain different versions side by side.</p></div>

+<h2 id="_erlang_versions">Erlang versions</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk uses the Git tags from Erlang/OTP to identify
+OTP versions. The most recent tag at the time of writing
+is <code>OTP-20.0.4</code>, which is a patch release of <code>OTP-20.0</code>.
+A patch release is a non-official release containing a
+few fixes on top of the official release.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Older versions used a slightly different versioning scheme
+and tag format, for example: <code>OTP_R16B03</code>. Beware though,
+there also was an <code>OTP_R16B03-1</code> release that fixed a
+critical issue in the initial release.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The README file for all official Erlang/OTP releases can
+be found on <a href="http://www.erlang.org/downloads">erlang.org</a>.
+To obtain information about patch releases when they are
+released you need to be subscribed to the
+<a href="http://erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-questions">erlang-questions mailing list</a>.</p></div>

+<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk can use a specific version of Erlang/OTP when
+interacting with your project. This can be very useful
+when you are working with a team because you can define
+the version you need in the Makefile and Erlang.mk will
+ensure this version is used by everyone in your team.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>To pin the version all you need to do is to set the
+<code>ERLANG_OTP</code> variable in your Makefile before including
+Erlang.mk. For example, to use <code>OTP-20.0.4</code>:</p></div>
